Abstract:

This report presents documentation standards recommendations for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Computer Aided Engineering and Architectural Design System CAEADS. These recommendations, which will be applicable throughout the systems life cycle, emphasize kinds of documents and their general content. It is recommended that governmental publications DOD 4120.17M, AR 18-1, TB 18-122, and CSCM 18-1 Training Package be used as an initial foundation for approximately two dozen document types. The recommended standards apply both to CAEADS as a system and to each CAEADS subsystem. These standards govern both technical and management documents. Technical documents include both the more commonly cited documents of high utility and the less frequently mentioned but vital documents of limited use. Management documents encompass both resource management time, funds, manpower, materiel and general administration.
