Argos: Design and Development of Object-Oriented, Event-Driven Multimedia Data Base Technology in Support of the Paperless Ship

Abstract

Argos is a prototype multimedia database developed as both a Battle Group Commander's assessment tool and a shipboard data management tool. The current prototype developed by using HyperCard/Macintosh demonstrates an effective utilization of off-the-shelf technology to solve real world problems commonly faced by the United States Navy. The ultimate goal of Argos is to provide database support for the Paperless Ship. Keywords: HyperCard computer program, HyperTalk programming language, Implementation.
