ARINC Research, in the late fifties, pioneered the organization and development of system effectiveness concepts. These concepts vitally influence today's system managers in government and industry, providing them with a quantitative means for measuring overall effectiveness.
Today, ARINC Research is applying and refining a new discipline which employs advanced techniques of science, engineering, and management to guide the creation and use of optimum systems. Optimum to the user's needs ... and to his resources. We call this new discipline System Architecture.*
It is an exciting new career field for the creative engineer or scientist who would welcome the opportunity to practice in a thoroughly professional, objective environ- ment with a top-flight technical team, free of any manufacturer's interest. If you are an operations analyst, mathematician, programmer/analyst, or systems engineer who is thoroughly familiar with advanced techniques of operations research in one of the following areas: communications, command and control, navigation, guidance and display systems, digital computers, radar; contact the Manager, Personnel Serv- ices. Learn of the many challenging career opportunities now being offered nation- wide by ARINC Research.

The appointments will carry the responsibility forconducting studies of cost effectiveness and systems optimization of strategic and military derivatives of commercial aircraft and communicating the results of evaluations to management and to the customer. The methods used to make evaluations will vary with each study and include computer simulation, war games, and complex mathematical analysis. In order to evaluate the operational worth of a product it is necessary to use inputs from a wide variety of technologies. In addition to mathematical skills a degree in engineering or physics would be helpful.

Lambda Corporation needs several highly qualified individuals to augment its staff of systems and operations analysts.
Lambda specializes in solving problems requiring a variety of analytical approaches and computational techniques. The group's activities encom- pass such areas as model building, optimization, simulation, application of the theory of games, and cost-effectiveness methodology. While con- tinuing to work on problems for high-level agencies of the Department of Defense, it is expanding into other areas of great national concern.
We invite inquiries ranging from those who are now completing their graduate studies to experienced senior analysts. Candidates must have a sound, advanced education in one of the quantitative sciences, know the role of a computer, and above all, be centrally interested in problem solv- ing and have a high potential for creative, independent work.
For this kind of exceptional person, there are exceptional career rewards at Lambda. Please write to J. N. Killalea, Assistant to the President.

The value today of systems analysis, operations research, and cost-effec- tiveness analysis techniques to military systems development pro- grams is unquestioned. But further, they have proven nota-
bly effective in solving both the day-to-day and the unusual problems of business, and in _
redirecting business operations toward higher objectives. The CONSULTEC Division of NUS
Corporation applies these proven techniques to assist industry managers who would optimize
their business operations in marketing, organization, finance or production.
*CONSULTEC, because of its independent nature and broad staff background, is an organization productive of new ideas and innovations in many areas of science, tech- nology and economics, serving commercial and industrial enterprises, government agencies, cooperatives, international organizations, and developing nations. CONSULTEc has a continuing need for people experienced in systems analysis, operations research, cost-effectiveness and engineering. These people will help us to continue providing advanced technological achievement to industry and government ... wherever the need exists.

The Data Systems Division of Litton Industries offers opportunities to conduct and direct studies towards defining future military system charac- teristics and evaluating pro- posed system concepts and designs by simulation and analytical techniques.
These studies typically include: mission analysis; requirements analysis; analysis of organizational and doctrinal implications, informational networks, required interfaces and systems evaluation and refinement through cost and effectiveness analysis.
Candidates must have a
degree in mathematics, engi- neering or physics and experi- ence in operations research and system analysis. They should be familiar with stochastic processes and economical but realistic Monte Carlo simula- tion of complex man/hardware/ software systems. Experience in tactical, military command and control and information processing systems is desirable.
