BEHAVE—An automated data analysis system for observed events

Abstract: This paper first defines the context of automated data analysis systems and then mentions approaches to analysis of data by systems of this type It then briefly describes the BEHAVE data structure and proceeds to a discussion of the BEHAVE data analysis package which provides the user with summary information concerning organization of data

AOIPS data base management systems support for GARP data sets

Abstract: A data base management system is identified, developed to provide flexible access to data sets produced by GARP during its data systems tests. The content and coverage of the data base are defined and a computer-aided, interactive information storage and retrieval system, implemented to facilitate access to user specified data subsets, is described. The computer programs developed to provide the capability were implemented on the highly interactive, minicomputer-based AOIPS and are referred to as the data retrieval system (DRS). Implemented as a user interactive but menu guided system, the DRS permits users to inventory the data tape library and create duplicate or subset data sets based on a user selected window defined by time and latitude/longitude boundaries. The DRS permits users to select, display, or produce formatted hard copy of individual data items contained within the data records.

Integrated data base concepts and structures for combat models

Abstract: Application of computer-based combat simulation models in support of major Army force design and weapons systems analyses frequently involves the use of large and complex sets of data from various organizational sources, reporting systems and data acquisition activities. Emerging data base technology has resulted in powerful techniques and operational tools which provide a range of new and versatile capabilities to structure and handle efficiently the large data sets which often pervade the analytic process. Of particular importance in the area of data base management systems (DBMS) are automated features which facilitate definition, integration and audit trail of data elements and structures into a cohesive, useful body of accessible user-oriented information. As a principal activity of a command-wide model/data quality assurance program, the US Army Concepts Analysis Agency (CAA) is employing the technology and software of data base management systems to construct an integrated data base to support simulation model operation and analytic efforts. This paper presents a description of design concepts, mathematical and systems analysis techniques, quality assurance methodologies, and resulting integrated automated data base capabilities which are in use or development at CAA to support major Army analyses and simulation model operations.
