Wide Area Technical Report Server

该奖项支持一个原型计算机系统的实施和测试，该系统将允许CEISE各部门连接到互联网，以电子方式获取技术和研究报告。这是老道明大学、弗吉尼亚理工大学、奥尔巴尼州立大学和弗吉尼亚大学共同努力的成果。在雪鸟‘92上举办了一次研讨会，以制定初步建议。拟议的系统将包括一个中央索引，保存在两个服务器上，以便于访问的格式存储相关信息。每个参与站点将在本地存储其自己的报告，并将处理中央站点和中央索引设施之间的索引交互。原型系统将在四个合作机构实施。对拟议原型的测试还将包括用户测试和评价系统的性能和可伸缩性。

This award supports the implementation and testing of a prototype computer system that will allow CISE departments connected to Internet, electronic access to technical and research reports. This is a collaborative effort between Old Dominion University, Virginia Polytechnic University, SUNY at Albany, and the University of Virginia. A workshop was held at Snowbird'92 to formulate the initial recommendation. The proposed system will consist of a central index to be kept on dual servers which will store relevant information in an easily accessible format. Each participating site will locally store its own reports and will handle index interactions between the central site and the central index facility. The prototype system will be implemented at the four collaborating institutions. Testing of the proposed prototype will also include user testing and evaluation of the performance and scalability of the system.
