This paper introduces the process model as a way of incorporating the software life cycle into beginning computer science courses. This approach, patterned after a successful method for teaching English composition, provides students with an understanding of how all phases of programming can be accomplished.A five-step model of the process and some useful tools for each step are presented as an example and discussed.

Most high-level programming languages do not have the ability to control the bindings between internal names and external implementations of those names at run time.This facility is necessary for the use of the language in a monolingual progrAmm~ng environment. The paper describes the semantics of a "dynamic binding" feature for a block-structured, strongly typed language that supports such control and presents an experimental implementation of Pascal that contains dynamic binding.

The use of intelligent systems in health care, while not new, is rapidly increasing with the development of new functions and features. Examples can be found in nearly all the major research areas of intelligent systems, including deduction, perception, prediction, robotics, and natural language, as well as combinations of these. Some barriers still exist to their adoption, including technological capacity and resistance by practitioners, but the evidence of their potential for reducing costs and improving outcomes indicates wider usage to come.Index Terms-Intelligent systems, IBM Watson, health care technology, decision support systems.
