Method to Evaluate Microcomputers for Non-Tactical Shipboard Use.

Abstract

This thesis outlines an approach to determine what microcomputer hardware, acceptable for various administrative applications on small U. S. Navy ships, can be purchased 'off the shelf' from commercial sources. It provides a cost and functional analysis of various computer systems and provides information concerning software support for these systems. An analysis of various potential applications specifies administrative functions that are recommended for automation, and also specifies other administrative functions that are not recommended for automation, with reasons why they should not be automated.
