Topic: Database
Design
Dr. Dean S. Hartley III
Database design requires consideration of the technical issues
of efficient storage and retrieval of data, together with
considerations of the nature of the data and its associated
environment. Database design also requires a thorough
understanding of the human interface issues. During the last
decade or so, it has become clear that systems last longer than
the original plans called for and thus the issues of
understanding the data and using the data for other purposes
having advanced the need for metadata describing the data. The
links here represent three points in the process of understanding
these issues.
Select one of the links below.
- Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO):
This project involves specifying the architecture for an OOTW Toolbox.
- Combined Model Database
Definition: Performed for TRAC, this
work consisted of examining the possibility of producing
a common database for the Joint Exercise Support System
(JESS), Corban, and other Corps level combat simulations.
- Military Operations Research Society (MORS):
This project involved chairing a working group of a
workshop on the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT).
- Internal Research & Development: This project involved creating a support tool for the Verification, Validation & Accreditation (VV&A) or DIME/PMESII models, the DIME/PMESII VV&A Tool. This tool keeps the records for conceptual model validation, static model verification & validation, data verification & validation, formal (dynamic) testing, and creation of accreditation certificates.
