Distributed Processing Applied to the Flight Service Station Modernization Program,

Abstract

This report is an investigation of the feasibility of using minicomputers in a distributed processing configuration for the Flight Service Station modernization program. It is based on studies of existing distributed processing configurations, many of which were visited by members of the MITRE/FAA distributed processing study team; on information supplied by vendors; and on an analysis of two sample configurations taking into account available data concerning Flight Service Station (FSS) functions. Distributed Processing, as applied to the FSS modernization program, is analyzed with respect to cost, degree of risk, and expected level of performance. Recommendations are given based upon analysis, research, and visits to existing distributed processing installations. (Author)
