COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATES (CTA) PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION TO BE USED BY ENGINEERS AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON, TO DEFINE ALTERNATIVES FOR MIGRATION OF MICRO COMPUTERS INTO PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATIONS, AND TO RECOMMEND A PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS MIGRATION. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED WILL INCLUDE THE INTEGRATION OF OFFTHE-SHELF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AS WELL AS THE CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. ENHANCEMENT OF BOTH THE MICROCOMPUTER AND ASSOCIATED HOSTS AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF LOCAL AREA NETWORKS MAY ALSO BE PROPOSED. THE ENHANCEMENTS DEVELOPED WILL INCLUDE THE STANDALONE OPERATION AND THE OPERATION IN A COMMUNICATIONS MODE AMONG AN ENGINEERING TEAM. THE TECHNICAL APPROACH EMPLOYS A UNIQUE CTA SYSTEMS ENGINEERING METHODOLOGY. THE ENHANCEMENTS PROPOSED WILL BE APPLICABLE NOT ONLY TO THE MICROCOMPUTERS AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON, BUT OFFER THE PROMISE OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
