Abstract:

This thesis supports the Naval Postgraduate Schools NPS program to develop a multimedia text, voice, graphics command and control C2 workstation as a Decision Support System to aid players of the Research, Evaluation, and Systems Analysis RESA facility. RESA is a Naval wargame that focuses on the battle groupforce level operations and command and control decision-making. NPS will interface this workstation with the wargame to provide players the capability to access and analyze game data in order to improve their decision-making ability. The objective of this thesis is to design a data base for the C2 workstation using data extracted from the game blackboard. The design will consist of a Semantic Data Model for the logical representation of the data and a relational data base design implemented on the ORACLE Data Base Management System DBMS. This design provides a detailed specification of the data base structure and is intended to be used during implementation of the DBMS on the workstation. Theses
