This thesis investigates the opportunity for the establishment of a Management
Information Systems research center at the Naval Postgraduate School and the
unique purpose it would serve within the Department of Defense community.
Following the analysis of five existing information systems research centers and
their various objectives and activities, pertinent issues regarding the Naval
Postgraduate School are identified through interviews of relevant faculty and staff.
A mission is identified for a Naval Postgraduate School "Information Systems
Research Center", and a strategy involving the center's objectives and activities is
suggested.http://archive.org/details/establishmentofm00feilLieutenant Commander, United States NavyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

The history of the Department of Defense (DOD) information system technical infrastructure includes a collection of stovepipe, single purpose systems. Recently, the DOD has developed initiatives to help promote the development of common target architectures to which DOD information systems can migrate, evolve, and interoperate. The DOD's Technical Architecture Framework for Information Managers (TAFIM) provide system developers guidance and methodologies for developing standard architectures. The Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) Common Operating Environment (COE) is a development architecture based on the ideas of TAFIM, and provides a framework for designing and building military information systems. This thesis applies the objectives presented in TAFIM in order to develop an approach for determining which network operating system (NOS) would best facilitate implementations of the DII COE. By first examining the evolution of Navy information systems, and the development of the DII COE, this thesis provides a detailed description of requirements placed on a NOS by a DOD DII COE based information system. These requirements are the used to help understand how TAFIM's objectives apply to NOSs. Two prevalent NOSs, Unix and Windows NT, are evaluated structured on TAFIM's guidance and the requirements of the DII COE. A determination is made based on these guidelines that both NOSs belong in future information systems, for appropriate tasks, based on the DII COE.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Lieutenant United States NavyLieutenant, Junior Grade, United States Navyhttp://archive.org/details/feasibilitycompa10945839
