The RAND Information Sciences Conference (RISC) was initiated in the fall 1973, to promote interaction among Information Sciences Department and RAND Computation Center staff members about their work in mathematics, computer science research, programming, and analysis. In the concurrent ISD Seminar series, visitors give technical presentations. RISC operates on a continuing basis with a call for papers and schedule for each three-month period. There are usually two sessions each month during the fall, winter, and spring quarters. Papers or sets of related papers are presented in hour-long sessions. The purposes of this paper are to document the second series of fall, winter, and spring sessions and to illustrate RAND's research and applied work in the information sciences. It comprises the abstracts of all the papers presented.
This publication is part of the RAND paper series. The paper series was a product of RAND from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
