Report of the Joint Industry - DoD Task Force on Computer Aided Logistic Support (CALS). Volume 3. Report of Architecture Subgroup.

Abstract

This document evaluates the various interpretations of an architecture (data flow, hardware, software, system, geographical, organizational, etc.) which could be used to characterize the CALS system. The architecture was viewed as serving several purposes: (a) To provide the system concept to tie together the many diverse considerations involved in such a very large integration effort. (b) To scope the CALS system and its functions so as to focus the efforts of the other subgroups (Technical Issues, Data Requirements, and Policy/Legal Issues). (c) To provide an initial foundation upon which the further development and implementation of the target system could rest. (d) To describe the target system in such a way that it could be readily understood and acted upon by government and industry.
