ABSTRACT
This paper reports the results of a study to survey data access
and integration architectures being used or considered for use
within the domain of DOD Logistics. The goal of the study was to
provide a management level briefing on current approaches to
data access and integration. One similarity of the architectures
surveyed is reliance on middleware to consolidate access to
heterogeneous environments: for interoperability, distributed
transactions, distributed components, WEB/internet integration,
legacy integration, and mainframe qualities of service, which
include the need for availability, integrity, scalability, and
reliability. It was apparent that no single technology (architecture)
will be sufficient.
