The author describes an integrated engineering environment developed to address the critical problem of fragmented and/or nonexistent engineering technical resources. Before the development of this Engineering Central Computing Facility (ECCF), resources that did exist were located in obscure locations primarily intended for a select audience. The ECCF makes this tools accessible to the entire engineering community and adds the necessary tools for day-to-day engineering tasks which would otherwise be preformed manually. The base's local area network provides the backbone for the system. Software capabilities have been provided in the mechanical, facilities design, electronic/electrical, and engineering documentation areas. The core computing consists of a cluster of minicomputers which provides generic-type services. Application software is hosted on the central host cluster, utilizing a library concept for package check-out and check-in. Secondary file service is provided at various locations throughout the base. This is primarily for user-specific requirements and may also be accessed from any remote location.
