Usability and Feasibility of Back-End Minicomputers.
Abstract
This report presents the results of the study to evaluate back-end data base management systems. The intent of this study has been to determine the feasibility and utility of a back-end data base management system operating in a BASOPS environment. In this document, the steps taken to make this determination are described. The data collected, the validation of the data and its source, the work performed upon this data, and the analysis of this work are detailed for each phase of the feasibility study. The principal phases of the project are the development of a functional and statistical description of a selected subprocess in the BASOPS environment; the determination of the effect of converting this subprocess to a data base management system; and the specification of a data base management system including a back-end processor and efficiency considerations of a back-end data base management system. The analyses of all phases of the project are incorporated into a set of conclusions as to the feasibility of the back-end data base management system. Future directions for study in this area are suggested.
