Description

During the past several years the General Electric Company has been developing a Dynamic Automated Reporting Technique (DART). DART was conceived for application to Dynamic Situations such as exist in management of large programs.

DART fulfills the following system requirements : 1) Capable of accepting inputs which vary in content, volume and structure.

2) Capable of accommodating inputs from several remote locations.

3) Ability to react to output demands which specify output content at the time of demand.

4) Function without computer programming charges.

5) Provide a means of self reporting status outputs for improving system effectiveness.

6) Capable of user operation.

7) Uses stylized English commands.

8) Capable of quick easy updating and revision.

DART has been used and modified based on experiments in Information Storage and Retrieval for the last three (3) years. These experiments have involved four (4) different computer types, and have consisted of data bases of personnel files, test planning, ECP Change Tracking and as an aid in the evaluation of Missile Guidance and Range Safety Systems performance. As a result of these experiments, further generalized needs for the overall improvement of this User Oriented Conversational Remote Access System are being studied.
