Joint Atomic Information Exchange Group Information Management Project. Task 2 Briefing Document. System Specification and Hardware/Software Purchase Recommendations for JAIEG Automated Information Management System

摘要

In Task 1, Science Applications, Inc. (SAI) studied JAIEG procedures and identified several areas where JAIEG information processing activities can be automated to achieve greater system efficiency. A document was written outlining the functions and specifications of an automated JAIEG information management system. This document stated that several off-the-shelf software development tools - a database management package, a forms management package, a word-processing capability and a programming language - would greatly facilitate the implementation of the functions identified as primary candidates for computer automation. The purpose of Task 2 was to investigate the hardware and software alternatives that exist to meet the requirements developed in Task 1. A generic hardware/software specification has been developed. This specification includes criteria by which existing hardware systems and software packages were evaluated. A specific system purchase recommendation has been devloped based on these criteria. These results are to be presented to JAIEG and TIC/DOE staff for their review in working and formal briefings. (ERA citation 09:001751)
