More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The Military Message Experiment (MME) is designed to evaluate the utility of user-oriented message processing systems in a military environment and to aid in determining the features useful in such a system. The experiment is a cooperative effort between the Commander-in-Chief, Pacific, the Navy, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. To conduct the experiment, a PDP-10 based system has been installed at CINCPAC Headquarters for use by a portion of the Operations Directorate. The message processing functionality is provided by SIGMA, a program written by the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California. It is supported by the TENEX operating system, and the user terminals are modified HP-2649A CRTs. The MME system is designed to give the user the capability to handle his message traffic (both incoming and outgoing, formal and informal) on the system. The system enforces multilevel security rules based on a modification of the security kernel model developed at Mitre.

The rule enforcement is not rigorous enough for certification, but it is sufficiently rigorous to determine the effects on the user’s message-related tasks are provided by the system: message distribution and redistribution, ‘electronic readboard’ construction, message filing, message replies, message commenting and ‘chopping,’ and message release
