Analysis, Design, and Implementation of a Logical Proof-of-Concept Prototype for Streamlining the Advertisement of Billets for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve
Abstract
The primary objective of this thesis is to provide the Marine Corps with a thorough bottom up System Analysis of the next generation billet advertisement system that will replace Reserve Duty Online (RDOL). The study includes a detailed systems analysis, a generic architecture, logical data models, process models and a system model which provides the Marine Corps with a blueprint of the requirements for the next system of record. The secondary objective of this thesis was to analyze current system architectures that advertise and fill job vacancies within the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products in order to identify what architecture should be leveraged by the Marine Corps during its next build. In the midst of the long war, it is clearly evident that the reserve is an integral part of the Marine Corps total force. This integration hinges on the recognition that the ability for our reservists to be able to easily search and identify available opportunities is of the utmost importance. The proposed architecture and requirements analysis presented in this thesis will provide a solid foundation for the development of a next generation system.
