Abstract
Applications development personnel have been confronted with the task of creating efficient applications to meet the needs of the end-user. Developers have tried to meet these needs by building their own individual routine libraries, but the wide range of skill levels and the large backlog of application requests have kept developers and end-users largely unsatisfied. Under the Common Front-End System Architecture being installed at the Marine Corps Central Design And Programming Activity Kansas City, Mo. developers will have access to a tool box of common functions that will help reduce development time for all levels of applications. A Decision Support System (DSS) designed to aid development personnel in gaining access to the data and functions necessary for their development efforts is desired by the Marine Corps to support Manpower and Pay systems. The creation of such a DSS will entail gathering data concerning access patterns to tool box functions and database elements, definition of specific tool box functions to be utilized by the DSS, and definition of the decision logic and rule processing for use in determining all the related elements of a transaction.
