Abstract:

An automated technique which provides information on data system flows and characteristics at the expenditure of considerably less manpower and in a more usable form than was previously possible was described previously in AD-275 499. The event-chain flow charting phase of that technique and the results of a field test of a proposed depot maintenance data system using the event-chain procedures are described. Also included are the computer program flow charts and Fortran instructions. Material presented should be of special interest to those in the Directorate of Data Automation at Hq USAF to the Systems Command, and to others who will conduct data system studies. Author
