Information Systems Strategic Planning for Kosovo Peace Keeping Force

This thesis presents a model of a detailed strategic information plan for a military organization. The model includes the analysis and design of a network and a three-tier client server system. The network analysis focuses on the network traffic flow using Etheinet and Token Ring models, Each candidate technology is simulated with Extend 4,0, Average latency and waiting time in the queue are the simulation parameters. The selection of the candidate technology will play an impoftant role in the implementation of the intranet for the organization. The three-tier client/server system includes the design and implementation of a relational database, which is connected to the intranet. The database is created with Access 2000. The database connectivity from back-end to front-end is constructed by Active Server Pages (ASP), which enables the users to manipulate the database via their web browsers. The intranet pages are built with Microsoft Front Page 2000. This prototype will permit this organization to initiate a tmnsformation from paper-based environment to the paperless world.Naval Postgraduate School Monterey CA is the author of 'Information Systems Strategic Planning for Kosovo Peace Keeping Force' with ISBN 9781423525981 and ISBN 1423525981.
