The first group of papers introduces the subject of automation to those responsible for administrative and managerial decisions in the development of systems.nThe second group of papers reports successful applications of computer techniques to the design of roads, bridges, pavements, hydraulic systems, and other activities related to the preparation of plans and contractual documents.
