An Evaluation of COMNAVSURFPAC's Information Engineering Initiative for the Modernization of Type Commander Headquarters Automated Information System (THAIS)

Abstract

A state-of-art management information system which would allow a Type Command to efficiently control assigned assets by thorough integration of the many currently distinct management systems is critical in this era of rapid technological growth, data overabundance, and expanding naval commitments. A significant problem with the current development of such a system is its inherent large size and a requirement to use an unproven methodology, Information Engineering (IE). This thesis analyzes the modernization of the Type Commander Headquarters Automated Information System, THAIS, identifies problems related to the effort and discusses the use of IE on a major redesign project.
