Distributed Computing Environment for Mine Warfare Command

Abstract

The Mine Warfare Command in Charleston, South Carolina has been converting its information systems architecture from a centralized mainframe based system to a decentralized network of personal computers over the past several years. This thesis analyzes the progress Of the evolution as of May of 1992. The building blocks of a distributed architecture are discussed in relation to the choices the Mine Warfare Command has made to date. Areas that need further attention and development are discussed based on the research findings. Finally, recommendation for future planning, procurement and improvements to the system are made. Lessons learned by this command during the conversion to a networked system are described.
