A Modem Information System for Uniform Parole Reports Data.

New developments in computer technology will fundamentally change the relationship between man and the computer. There clearly exist both the need and the capability for a flexible,. adaptive technique for fulfilling user requirements of a spontaneous nature. Modern on-line information systems such as can be supported by third generation computer technology can provide the tools permitting the users to interact with the computer in a dynamic fashion. The application of such a system to the Uniform Parole Reports data is described and future developments of on-line statistical analyses and modeling and simulation techniques arc mentioned as targets for collaborative research efforts.
