moved from his Bronx High School of Science slide rule to IBM cards and an 029 keypunch in the bowels of Harvard University. Since then he's been primarily interested in the interplay between large-scale social processes and how people use technology to be connected at work and in the community. His NetLab research network is trying to get a handle on how the Internet fits into everyday life. Wellman founded the International Network for Social Network Analysis in 1976. He is a recent Chair of the Community section of the American Sociological Association has been nominated for the Chair of the Communication and Information Technology section of the ASA the Virtual Community focus area leader for SIGGROUP/ACM and a Executive Cmmittee member of the Association for Internet Researchers. Wellman's (co)edited books are: Social Structures: A Network Approach (2d ed CSPI 2003) Networks in the Global Village (Westview Press

We review the evidence from a number of surveys in which our NetLab has been involved about the extent to which the Internet is transforming or enhancing community. The studies show that the Internet is used for connectivity locally as well as globally, although the nature of its use varies in different countries. Internet use is adding on to other forms of communication, rather than replacing them. Internet use is reinforcing the pre-existing turn to societies in the developed world that are organized around networked individualism rather than group or local solidarities. The result has important implications for civic involvement.

STIMSON, WAMARTINEZ, EWilliam A. Stimson:received his B.S. degree in mathematics from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1964
and his M.S. degree in engineering from the University of Santa Clara in 1971. Mr. Stimson was employed in the aerospace industry for ten years then joined the Naval Ship Weapon Systems Engineering Station in Port Hueneme Calif in 1973. At NSWSES he served ten years as a ship qualification trials project supervisor and seven years as program manager of the Master Ordnance Repair Program. Today Mr. Stimson lives in Charlottesville Va. and is a Ph.D candidate in systems engineering at the University of Virginia majoring in quality management and statistical quality control. Ernest Martinez:received his B.S. degree in computer sciences from National University in 1985. Mr. Martinez was head of combat systems at the Naval Ship Repair Facility
Yokosuka Japan for five years returning in 1983 to the Naval Sea Support Center Pacific San Diego Calif. During the next five years he managed the Fleet Modernization Program and was coordinator of the Combat System Readiness Test Program. Today Mr. Martinez lives in San Diego and is employed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Calif. as MOR program manager.

Because of the redefinition of national defense needs and the reduction of defense budgets, the management of complex combatant repair is more imperative than ever. To this end, the U.S. Navy is calling for Total Quality Leadership (TQL) strategies from its agencies and contractors. These strategies are derived from well known initiatives of quality management, such as those of deming. They define the basis of any quality program. Quality methodologies have proven highly effective in the manufacturing sector, but many remain unproven or tentative in service and repair industries. The authors believe that TQL methods can be effective in the repair industry also, but must be developed or adapted to suit the unique characteristics of that industry: high skill, non-rote crafts, with continual customer interface at all levels of operation. In establishing a direction for TQL development, the authors have chosen two elements. The first is the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Improvement program, which provides guidelines for direction. The second is the Master Ordnance Repair (MOR) program, which provides the management vehicle. From its beginning in 1983, MOR has been a program of management. The task is explicit in its charter, NAVSEAINST 8000.2, which requires that a MOR contractor manage combat system work and testing. Quality management methods are applied to the MOR program to achieve MOR objectives using Baldrige measurements. Methods are presented which deploy the quality function across the organization. Techniques are provided to improve the company's ability to control its processes and the robustness of its product. These include methods of process analysis that determine added value, ownership, and internal customer. Stress is placed on in-process verification rather than on end-of-process inspection. The recommendations of this paper require no extraordinary skills or costs, but do require a formal and systematic approach to quality issues. The authors believe that

Engineering processes, for the integration of topside electromagnetic environment and EM subsystems performance engineering into the mainstream of surface ship engineering, are presented anddiscussed in this paper. The engineering procedures and tasks pertaining to ship EM systems engineering must be tailored to the several stages of the life cycle, but all contain a core of activities covering performance-based EM suite selection and topside arrangement design, which is based on EM environment and performance vs. requirements analysis. These core activities are presented anddiscussed as they apply to all life cycle design stages. Several recent fleet EMI problems are briefly discussed for the insight they provide relative to the EM portions of the current design process, and conclusions regarding how the proposed procedures address current deficiencies are included.
