RESOURCE ALLOCATION MODEL

A RESOURCE ALLOCATION MODEL IS ARCHITECTED TO OPERATE ON NAVAL AIR TEST CENTERS MICROCOMPUTERS. THE MODEL REFLECTS ALL RESOURCE ELEMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE CONDUCT OF TESTS AND EVALUATIONS AT NATC. A SYSTEMS CONCEPT IS APPLIED RESULTING IN A OCTAHEDRON OF RESOURCE INFORMATION AND DATA BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE. THE MODEL IS CAPABLE OF HANDLING EIGHT CATEGORIES OF RESOURCE SETS. THE COMPUTER APPLICATION DRAWS ON THE ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET CONCEPT CONFIGURED, HOWEVER TO DECISION TREE STRUCTURES AND CAPABLE OF HANDLING RESOURCES REQUIRED BY EITHER FUNCTIONAL OR PROJECT ORGANIZATIONAL HIERARCHIES. FUTURE GROWTH OF THE MODEL COULD INCLUDE SIMULATION CAPABILITY AS WELL AS EXPANSION TO EXPERT SYSTEMS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
