Abstract

The computer information systems for the maintenance environment of the future must be flexible enough to accommodate a myriad of platforms that support the information needs generated by constantly changing requirements. As the maintenance community downsizes, the information infrastructure must expand to handle additional capabilities. This paper presents an information system framework that allows the maintenance community to grow from its current inventory of autonomous computers and test equipment, to an integrated network of systems that intelligently control the flow of information
