Benefits of technology

The invention is a set of software and safeguards that operates on a standard UNIX based computer to provide the following capabilities in a secure fashion via the World Wide Web operating over the Internet: A. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Multimedia Internet Mail Extension (MIME) compliant electronic mail with many user features. B. Reflector configured bulletin board capabilities as a logical extension of the above electronic mail system for group sharing. C. Hierarchical file repositories allowing binary upload, copying, and download for Internet store and forward capability. D. Protected File Transfer Protocol (FTP) areas to supplant the above file repository capability. E. Threaded discussion areas for different-time, different place collaboration capabilities. F. Optional voting tools associated with the threaded discussion areas. G. Full-fledged formal voting tool including proxy voter capability. H. Simple calendar tool to permit announcing future events. I. Rudimentary database capabilities allowing user defined fields and record layouts. J. Ability to automatically inv

Problems solved by technology

Rather TECNET has established capabilities before the real need arises, but not so soon that the risk is unacceptable.

Embodiment Construction

TECWEB houses a number of applications for the T&E community. Two recently fielded applications reflect the utility of TECWEB's modular design philosophy. TECWEB recently fielded the Test Investment Database (TIDWEB) for the T&E Reliance community. This highly interactive tool permits online formulation or submission of investment needs and solutions from the field. After service level review, these needs and solutions can then be officially distributed to Tri-Service Reliance panels for online evaluation and voting. Using other online tools and techniques, Reliance officials may fold Evaluated solutions into Test Capability Master Plans (TCMPs) and an overarching Test Requirements Master Plan (TRMP). The Facilities and Capabilities Information for Test and Training (FACITT) complements this database by providing a natural language search capability against all known facilities and capabilities information concerning Test and Training, including focused World Wide Web (WWW) resource...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to Internet test and evaluation systems, and more specifically to a web host enabling tool for collaborative knowledge sharing within the test and evaluation community.The best patented Internet test support systems are described in the following patents, which are incorporated by reference:U.S. Pat. No. 5,796,953, Aug. 18, 1998, System having user terminal connecting to a remote test system via the internet for remotely testing communication network, Zey, David A., andU.S. Pat. No. 5,203,201, Apr. 20, 1993, On-line web filtration efficiency test method, Gogins, Mark A.The Test and evaluation Community Network (TECNET) has led the way in technical communication initiatives on behalf of the Defense Test and Evaluation community since its creation in 1984. TECNET's role has always been to assist in the meaningful and timely information exchange among geographically, organizationally and functionally disparate test and ...
