The Department of Defense Requirements for Engineering Information Systems (EIS). Volume 1. Operational Concepts.

Abstract

IDA Paper P-1953 comprises two volumes: Volume I, Operational Concepts, and Volume II, Requirements. Volume I contains full set of requirements for the Engineering Information Systems (EIS). Both short-term and long-term requirements are provided as well as a general discussion of the operational concepts and objectives of the EIS program. This document is the latest step in a program aimed at formulating requirements for the EIS. It provides the definitions and terminology that are used throughout the two-volume set. The first section of Volume I provides a global introduction to the EIS concept. The second section provides a high level summary of the EIS functionality. The third section considers a number of problems to be addressed in the EIS environment, defines a number of relevant terms, presents a conceptual architecture for the system, and provides a rationale for the organization of the requirements. Two appendices are included: appendix A, a glossary of terms, and Appendix B, a list of relevant literature. The second volume, Requirements, lays out the requirements of the EIS, both for the prototype EIS and for the long term.
