Military Message Experiment Quick Look Report.

Abstract

The Military Message Experiment (MME) is designed to evaluate the utility of user-oriented message processing systems in a military environment and to aid in determining the features useful in such a system. The experiment is a cooperative effort between the Commander-in-Chief, Pacific, the Naby, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. To conduct the experiment, a PSP-10-based system has been installed at CINCPAC Headquarters for use by a portion of the Operations Directorate. The message processing functionality is provided by SIGMA, a program written by the Information Sciences Institue of the University of Southern California. It is supported by the TENEX operating system, and the user terminals are modified HP-2649A CRTs. The Staff began limited experimental use of the system in July 1978. This interim report discusses the impressions gained during this period; two additional reports are planned, the final to be published in December 1979. The MME system is designed to give the user the capability to handle his message traffic (both incoming and outgoing, formal and informal) on the system.
