This thesis analyzes the social significance of the integration of the home into computer networks. The social significance of home networking is grasped when these systems are understood in their relationship to emerging forms of electronic social control. The thesis establishes this connection through an analysis of structural trends in the videotex industry which demonstrates the value to the corporate sector of cybernetic information generated by interactive systems. The North American tradition of privacy policy is reviewed and demonstrated as inadequate for the protection of personal privacy in home networking. It is further shown that privacy policy does not represent an adequate theorization of social control in computer networking, since it does not account for practices of aggregate social control, which have been termed in the thesis "social management," so vital to the cybernetic economy of late capitalism. Finally, the thesis argues that current conceptual frameworks and policy mechanisms cannot assure the socially beneficial development of home networking, given the tendency towards the integration of such systems into structures of social control.

This paper reviews numerous theoretical results on control structures and demonstrates their practical examples. This study deals with the design of run-time support routines by using top-down structured programming technique. A number of examples are given as illustration of this method. In conclusion, structured programming has proved to be an important methodology for systematic program design and development.

The purpose of this study was to write a cross-assembler for the Motorola M6800 microcomputer to run on the Data General Nova minicomputer and dual disk hardware. The Nova minicomputer assembly language was selected for the cross-assembler program.Specifications for the cross-assembler were formulated as a hybrid of those of an assembler written by the microcomputer manufacturer, those of the Nova assembler, and some which were dictated by the hardware utilized. A skeletal program was written in which the processing modules were represented as subroutine calls. Subsequently, the processing modules were written and incorporated into the main program. The thesis discusses the M6800 programming language, the cross-assembler specifications, and the resulting implementation.The cross-assembler produced from this research was tested on numerous source programs and performed as specified. Samples of cross-assembler output listings are included in the thesis.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
