Abstract:

This research describes the design and implementation issues associated with re-engineering the Air Force Institute of Technology Student Information System AFITSIS. Currently, AFITSIS executes on aging relational database technology and has unfriendly user interface mechanisms. The two research objectives met were to research current AFITSIS requirements, design, and implementation, and use object-oriented methods to design an alternative implementation based on proposed object database management system standards. This research explores how AFITSIS performance and capabilities might be enhanced by taking advantage of new object-oriented software engineering techniques. One of the primary benefits of this research is a detailed object modeling technique analysis and design that may be used as a foundation for upgrading the current AFITSIS.
