DRAMA: An Application of Logistics Shell
Abstract
Managing the logistics of system repair and maintenance is a demanding process in both the government and commercial sector. It requires interpretation and management of large amounts of highly specialized information. Current software technology and computer interfaces are not sufficient for the growing demands of logistics support and so new approaches are being pursued. Information Sciences Institute (ISI) is actively developing new technology to face future demands and has developed a framework for building logistical support applications. DRAMA (Date Review, Analysis and Monitoring Aid), an application being developed using this framework addresses item entry and control of new weapon systems being introduced into the U.S. military. DRAMA is a part of the solution to the growing demands on the logistics support in the government. It monitors and analyzes support information available for weapon systems and assists personnel (e.g., catalogers, Item Managers) in making weapon systems support more effective and efficient. This paper describes a framework called logistic shell and DRAMA'S functionality based on this framework.
