FY92 Contributions to the Database Management System Interface Standards Working Group of the Navy Next Generation Computer Resources Program

Abstract : The Next Generation Computer Resources (NGCR) Program is a Navy standardization effort designed to fulfill the Navy's needs for standard computer resources while at the same time allowing it to take advantage of commercial products and investments and to field new technology more quickly and effectively. The program is centered around the selection and adoption of open system standards in several areas, including backplanes, local area networks, operating systems, project support environments, graphics, and database management systems. IDA is providing support through participation in a recently formed group known as the NGCR Database Management System (DBMS) Interface Standards Working Group (DISWG). The objective of the NGCR DISWG is to identify and help define nonproprietary industry-based database management system interface standards for use in the development and maintenance of future Navy mission-critical computing systems. The document is a compilation of IDA written contributions to the NGCR DISWG from April 1992 through September 1992.
