Abstract
Administrative uses of the School's computer system have been
developed as needed over a period of years. Frequent overloading
of the computer facilities is occurring more and more frequently, and
a sizeable increase in the number of students is expected. Therefore,
a more efficient system is considered desirable.
Present users of the system were interviewed and their functions
described and flow diagrammed.
.-
Other educational information systems were investigated for
possible application at the Postgraduate School. A number of differences
between this School and other civilian institutions and
several problem areas were revealed in this study. It was concluded that a common data base of information on all ->
personnel connected with the USNPGS would be feasible and would
eliminate much duplication of effort in present administrative
offices. It was recommended that this common data base be explored
further, and that additional research be done on other applications
of educational data processing.
