Initial Conceptualization and Characterization of a Navy Automated Publishing System. Volume 1. Executive Summary.
Abstract
There are many inadequacies in current Navy printing and publishing capabilities, and potential for improvement is offered by rapidly advancing computer and communications technologies. This report details the findings of a research and development program conducted by Forecasting International Ltd. to provide the Navy Publications and Printing Service with an automated system concept to address these shortcomings. The Navy Automated Publishing System (NAPS) concept here described is intended to be introduced initially in the early 1980s, and evolve incrementally to meet, by the year 2000, the Navy's needs with regard to the publication of all non-tactical information. This 3-volume report presents a description of the methodology employed; a review of Navy needs in this time frame; a detailed discussion of the state-of-the-art in pertinent technologies and a forecast through the period of concern; and a broad conceptualization of both the year 2000 system and the incremental steps for its achievement. Recommendations for Navy actions to develop and test further the concept of such a system are also included. (Author)
