An Analysis Technique for Examining Integration in a Project Support Environment

In this paper we describe the use of a Project Support Environment (PSE) services reference model as an analysis technique that helps in describing, understanding, and comparing aspects of integration in a PSE. The model is briefly described, before being used as the basis for discussing a number of issues with regard to PSE integration. A major focus of this paper is a discussion of the interfaces of interest in a PSE—interfaces within a single service, between services, and between services and the PSE end-users. The paper concludes with a discussion of possible interpretations and developments of the model to suit different user requirements

Reference Model for Project Support Environments (Version 2.0)

The U.S. Navy has embarked on the next Generation Computer Resources (NGCR) program to fulfill its need for standard computing resources. The program revolves around the selection of interface standards in six areas. The interface standards will be based on existing industry standards with multi-vendor support. The objective is to restructure the Navy's approach to take better advantage of commercial advances and to reduce cost and duplication of computer resources. This document is part of the NGCR program
