SecureIS is a java web application designed to address the security concerns outlined by the Director of Central Intelligence Directive 6/3 (DCID 6/3). This system provides a company or agency the capability to manage and audit the security of information systems that process confidential information. The system provides for identifying the items in an information system that require security concern and assign DCID 6/3 security requirements to these items that are appropriate for the level of security concern. Provide a facility to associate security services with security requirements, and provide the reports and database facilities needed to be able to audit the security status of the information system. More information about this system can be found by following this link SecureIS Overview.
(product) Developed for Pace Applied Technology of Manassas Virginia, this system is a web-based combination of Java Applet and Servlet operating under the Apache web server and Tomcat application server. It is designed to provide easy access to accounting information through a company’s intra-net network. The accounting information is stored in a Microsoft Access or SQLServer database and is accessed via the java JDBC facility.
The client applet provides the user interface utilizing java swing components. A user can browse the KIM database tables, modify them, create queries and display query results in tables that can be modified and manipulated. The results may be exported to other databases, local files, or other applications in a number of formats such as HTML, XML, tab delimited and column oriented text. The output of queries may be exported to a report display module to enhance the report. This report display module provides facilities to change fonts, font styles, text color, add images, page breaks, footers and headers. The report may be previewed and edited prior to printing.
The system provides users with five parameter driven accounting reports that allow him to tailor and limit output.
The accounting information available is determined by a user’s access level designation, and the global parameters set by the system administrator. The latter permit access to various system features. Users may have access to accounting information associated with their company account number, or they may have access to an entire account structure such as division, department, or project. Some users, the system administrator for example, may have access to all accounting information and the KIM database tables.
(product) Developed for Communications Cabling & Technology(CC&T) of Fairfax Virginia, this system is implemented using JSP's, HTML, Javascript, and java beans. This is a server based system running on a Apache web server, Tomcat application server and utilizing a MySQL database. The JSP's provide a user interface within a client's web browser.
CC&T uses sub contractors, located in close proximity to customers, to implement contracts to install or maintain computer equipment. The testing and evaluation service is aimed at qualifying the technical capabilities of sub contracters in performing the needed tasks. CC&T technical recruiters identify potential contractors, enter identifying information into the database, and notify the contractors of the logon requirements to take tests. The contractor uses a web browser to log into the internet hosted system to view CC&T technical documents and take the tests that have been assigned to his logon ID. The CC&T web site is restricted to clients that have been provided a logon ID by a CC&T technical recruiter.
The system provides CC&T personnel a means of entering tests that will be used to evaluate technical contractors capabilities to provide technical services to CC&T. These tests, questions, answers, test results, etc. are stored in the MySQL database and then used by the presentation system to display the tests to the technicians. The technicians/contractors take these tests over the internet and the results are reviewed by technical recruiters within CC&T to make a decision about the contractors capabilities to implement a contract. The contractor also gets the results of the test displayed in his web browser. The two parties then have a means to discuss further action.
Developed for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), this system is a three tier Java Intranet application that resides on the middle tier (an NT4.0 server) running a BEA Systems WebLogic application server. The client user interface component is packaged as a Java Applet and is automatically down-loaded to the client PC. A set of Java Servlets on the middle tier provide database and messaging services to the client. The application stores its data on a Sybase database that resides on a Unix server. This prototype merges the capabilities of two Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) systems that are in current use at BLS.
(product) This is an Internet/Intranet application written in Java, REXX, and the Unix command programming language. The application is designed to provide easy access to IBM OS/390 files and DB2 tables through a Windows-like file manager interface. The system utilizes the IBM HTTP server for OS/390, the DB2 relational database, and the IBM WebSphere application server. ExploreMVS facilitates access to OS/390 services via an intuitive, browser-based, graphical user interface. It allows less experienced staff to effectively utilize the facilities of the IBM OS/390 platform.
(product) MVS/Tune modifies the JCL parameters of IBM OS/390 production jobs to minimize use of data center resources, and to decrease production job run times. It is written in Cobol and Assembler language with a REXX ISPF user interface. Tagg Associates analyzed, modified, re-designed and documented the original software package, at the request of Chicago-Soft Ltd., to make it a more marketable product.
(product) This TSO/ISPF user interface was developed for Information Analysis Inc. (Fairfax Virginia). It allows the user to: select parameters to control the remediation process; set options controlling how the process is to be monitored; and select the outputs to be displayed for error messages and the updated Cobol code. It was written in a combination of the PL/1, CLIST, and REXX languages.
(products) These sub-systems were developed for Pace Applied Technology of Manassas Virginia. Written in Cobol and Assembler language, they account for resources used by jobs and transactions executed under DB2, CICS, IMS, IDMS, NetView, and VM. They are still in use as an integral component of the Pace product line.
(product) This product was created for Software Corporation of America (bought out by Computer Associates) as an extension to the IBM operating system data set open service. It intercepts open requests for new data sets and, based on the track capacity of the direct access device on which the data set is allocated, automatically assigns an optimum block size for the file.
(product) This user interface was written in the TSO/ISPF CLIST language as a front end to Fast DASD, a product that was sold by Software Corporation of America. The user interface allows data center management and operators to readily access information on disk data set contention problems.
(product) Tagg Associates developed this application and marketed it for 10 years. It was also sold under the name ALARM through a marketing agreement with Johnson Systems.
The system processed failure data from the IBM LOGREC data base that were reported in real time to data center operators. It also created a database that was used to provide reports of hardware failures within a specified time-frame, and identified which hardware had higher than normal levels of failures. Customers could send their monthly failure data to Tagg Associates where the data were aggregated and processed. Reports were sent to the data centers with information about the failure rate of their equipment in comparison to other data centers that were part of the survey. In addition to information on the relative reliability of hardware, this provided HARM customers with a statistical basis for determining whether or not they were receiving inferior service from their maintenance companies.
