Network and Database Design in Support of the Joint Theater Level Simulation

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to determine the feasibility of incorporating a Sun Workstation into a Command and Control station to aid players in the execution of their roles in the Joint Theater Level Simulation. This entailed reviewing the possibility of eliminating the Postprocessor from the analysis phase of the game play. The Joint Theater Level Simulation is a theater independent computer game that models two-sided air, ground and naval combat, utilized for warfare training, joint operational and planning and doctrinal analysis. The products of this thesis will interface the Sun Workstation with the wargame's host computer, the VAX-11, to provide the players the capability to access and analyze game data to improve their decision making ability. To meet this end, several software products were produced which specifically interfaced with the VAX-11, Sun Workstation and Ethernet. Theses.
