Compiling and Porting the NOSC (Naval Ocean Systems Center) Tools for Use by the Defense Logistics Agency

Abstract

The purpose of this IDA Memorandum Report is to document the issues encountered during an effort to supply a set of software tools to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The effort entailed selecting the tools, compiling them at the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), and porting them to computers at DLA. All the tools were written in the Ada programming language and were placed in the public domain by the World Wide Command and Control Systems (WWMCCS) information System, Joint Program Management Office (WIS JPMO). The effort to provide these software tools was part of a larger effort on the part of IDA to assist the DLA in using and evaluating the Ada language. The value of this study is to illustrate typical design questions that arise in the course of a large- scale Ada project and to indicate appropriate solutions, especially as regards the issues of portable software.
