Abstract:

Volume II of the three-volume final report on Phase II of a three- phase project on the Use of Air Force ADP Experience to Assist Air Force ADP management is presented. The design of the data collection questionnaire was based on the ADPS model a concept of a total ADPS and the workload model representing attributes of an ADPS. Data were collected on a stratified 18-ADPS sample, and the statistical analysis of these data produced five cost estimation equations. In addition, the data were used to produce a seven-page system description of each ADPS, which became the core of the ADP Experience Handbook. A Phase III operational concept and development plan was also synthesized.
