This paper stresses the crucial role of planning in managing, developing, integrating, and documenting a large software effort. Section 1 details the necessary components of a software plan. Section 2 then outlines the planning aspects of incremental development (i.e. successive builds) and Section 3 discusses "software first" integration planning. Finally Section 4 suggests that prior planning can provide for the straightforward. and accurate recording of project status and problems.

In the process of establishing equitable and practical computer time allocations for our computer science courses this fall, we compared our seemingly high request with standards in other universities. Twenty-three private and state universities were chosen for the comparison and a questionnaire (appendix 1) was designed to elicit information about large introductory programming courses and more specialized systems programming/software engineering courses.

Landin's SECD Machine does not completely compute certain expressions of the λ-calculus and so is modified by the addition of an output component and a unique name counter. This modified machine is proven to correctly implement the λ-calculus.
