Navy Logistics Information Sharing (NAVLIS) Project.

Abstract

The primary objective of the Navlis project was application of computer networking and data base accessing technology to the current Navy automated logistics environment. The program was terminated in December 1975. This report describes the computer software developed during the construction of a pilot model and the capabilities of that software to extract data from distributed data bases on non-homogeneous computers at geographically dispersed sites. The major technical interests and contributions of the project were: Distributed Data Directory concept; Generalized parameter-driven data base interface; Synonym resolution capability; and Secondary hit resolution capability. The major recommendations of this report are that: NAVLIS technology be reviewed for its relevance to on-going university level projects; NAVLIS technology be considered for its potential benefits to other logistics system developments, such as WWMICS and NAICOMMIS; and Consideration be given to utilizing the NAVLIS technology in networking the Navy Data Processing Service Centers.
