Algorithms for Access to Distributed Product Information

Abstract

This study examined the use of distributed databases in a military buying setting. PartNet was built to test the hypothesis that a distributed database, operating over the Internet would yield significant advantages above the current supply paradigm. The lessons learned are: 1. this is a feasible approach, 2. vendors will support the use of this system, and, 3. PartNet offers significant savings in lead time for the warfighter.
