Acquisition and Logistics Information and Analysis System (ALIAS). Executive Summary.

Abstract

The Acquisition and Logistics Information and Analysis System (ALIAS) is used by NAVSEA 90 to improve ship acquisition planning so that programs are on time, within budget, and fit into a fleetwide programming plan. ALIAS consists of 1) a large, integrated relational data base, 2) menu command system which allows the user to perform any task through use of menu selection or direct command, 3) extensive help subsystem which guides the novice or experienced user, 4) libraries of utility procedures, and 5) a variety of high level analytical and functional modules which interface with both the command system and the data base. The system currently resides on the Navy's HP-3000 computer housed at PMS-392. It makes extensive use of the RELATE data base management system. A companion applications generator package, BUILDER, is also used extensively. Most utility routines and high level modules are written in HP FORTRAN, while the user interface is written in BUILDER. This is the final report volume. Orinator keywords include: ALIAS, Data base, DBMS, Models, Structured programming.
