Issues and Problems by RobertAndrew VanMeter Lieutenant Commander, United States Naval Reserve B.A., University ofRochester Submitted in partial fulfillment ofthe requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS from the NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL September, 1991 ABSTRACT The goal of this thesis is to provide an overview of hypertext to determine its feasibility for resolving some of the problems currently facing newly assigned and inexperienced ADP security officers. The proclivity within DOD for using documents in virtually every facet of work suggests that hypertext has a promising future in the DOD. To implement an ADP security program in the Navy, the information presented in the DON AIS Security Guidelines should be carefully selected and filtered to derive a tool that provides an effective and circumstance-shaped source of information, guidance and reference. From a design standpoint, it is important to integrate hypertext technology with other computer based tools — — such as expert systems and simulation models to fully exploit the potential of this new technology. 111 ..
