A Design Methodology and Prototype for the Reserve Training Support System.

Abstract

There is much to be done to update the Naval Reserve automated information systems to 1980's technology. This thesis analyzes the Naval Reserve's automated information system- the Reserve Training Support System (RTSS). It presents the system's background and specifications, its problems and the Reserve's own plan to resolve these problems. After a discussion on the characteristics of an effective automated information system, RTSS is critiqued. The key issue is the obsolescence of the hardware and software being used. To alleviate their information problems, the Reserve's must develop a plan to implement new hardware and software technology in a coordinated fashion. An alternative is presented to the traditional system development process: prototyping. Relational database theory is briefly discussed. ORACLE, a relational database management system, is used to implement the database prototype that serves as an example of how current technology can be used to eliminate many of the Naval Reserve's information problems.
