mission
:
Such
input devices are bought separately from the
normal
equipment
we
would buy for
its regular mission.
However,
this
requirement
on
the program's computer system means that,
when those
other
pieces
of equipment are
bought,
they will
have digital
outputs
which
can
be
read by the computer
(they usually do not have).
Such specialized
devices
include,
but are
not
limited
to:
1)
Galvanic Skin Response
(GSR)
device :
This
bottom-of -the-l ine device measures
the
minor variations
in
the skin's
resistance
to an electrical
microcurrent.
Such variations
indicate
the
worker's
mental
and emotional
state
at any given
time.
The
machine,
therefore,
works
as
a monitoring device.
If such
a machine
were
used,
it
should have
a
port
for output of the results
in digital
form.
2)
Biofeedback
:
Much
like
the
GSR,
a biofeedback
machine allows
the monitoring of the worker's mental
and emotional
states,
through
the monitoring of brainwave activity.
This device has
the added ability to give the worker audible feedback.
Therefore,
when
the worker's mental
state
is
less than desirable,
he/she
will
know,
and
can immediately work to bring themselves back into optimum working order.
Again,
such a machine can only provide an input to the statistical
databases
if there
is a port for the
information
in digital
form.
3)
EEG :
An electroencephalograph
(EEG)
machine has
never been used for this office,
but the need for one has long been
recognized.
It
is
a more sensitive machine than the biofeedback machine,
and can keep track of much more data.
It does not provide feedback,
unless used with the hemisync device,
mentioned
in the next
item,
below.
For such use,
a digital
port
is required.
4)
Hemisync :
This device uses tones to help attain
working states
in
a much shorter time,
as well as to help train new
personnel
in attaining these ideal
working states.
The standard machine
of this type merely produces tones.
However,
with digital
input/output,
the hemisync machine can work
in conjunction with the EEG and the
computer.
The computer,
while recording the statistics involved
in the
work period,
can use the information coming from the EEG to control
the
tonal output of
the hemisync machine,
to produce the optimum session
working-state parameters.
This EEG-hemisync combination
is the optimum
setup presently available for the program's location and exclusive use.
5)
Magnetoencephalograph :
This device
is
exponentially more accurate than the EEG and can be used in much the same
way as the EEG-hemisync combination.
The cost,
however,
is totally
prohibitive,
requiring special cryogenic devices,
a special
facility,

a requirement
in the Personnel Selection criteria to insure that
at
least one new incoming personnel
has programming ability.
#
(U)
Should workstations
be interconnected?
(Stand alone
vs.
LAN or mini-computer).
There are too many pros and cons for each
decision
to be addressed
in a document of this size.
The determination
makes minor differences
in system capabilities,
but makes huge
differences
in terms of system costs and flexibility.
A major
consideration,
however,
would be whether or not everyone
on the program
needs on-line access
to the databases.
This,
of course,
is
a management
issue.

Does
the program need
a Tempest
system?^
In
light
of
the program's current facility and anticipated database classification
level,
security requirements must be studied
in detail.
COf'nr
systems have
no more capabilities than regular systems,
little
impact on the
user.
The costs of such a system,
sometimes doubled or tripled.
When judging this aspect of system needs,
one must take
into account the facility in which the system
is
located
and all other security aspects.
One obvious method of cutting the cos
is to determine whether or not Tempest approval
is needed on all
terminals,
or whether one or two dedicated Tempest terminals will
suffice.
Also,
some means of controlling the perimeter around the
program's facilities might be feasible to meet this requirement.
6.
(U)
Will
the system need data transmiss ion capabilities?
This consideration impacts directly on all decisions about
input,
output,
and security.
7.

Will additional
training

APPENDIX 3:
EXAMPLES OF SURVEY RESULTS
<U
The examples
in this appendix are taken from the last system analysis,
performed
in
1985 on
the Wang computer system which the program used at
that
time.
Some of
the
items will
not apply to the present situation,
and some
items which apply to the present situation will
not be found
in
these examples.
The purpose of this section
is simply to allow the
reader to better understand the level
of detail which must be considered
(but
is often
ignored)
in ADP system acquisition and to indicate the
minimum requirements that the proposed system will
have to meet.
