Abstract
NAVFAC is a system of some 4200 workstations to manage U.S. Naval Facilities world-wide. The system applications are from the architectural, cartographic, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering disciplines.
NAVFAC includes a Modeling and Drawing Management System (MDMS) to manage the tens of thousands disparate files in the environment. IBM responded to the dozens of detailed requirements for MDMS with a custom-built solution which includes several innovations in the areas of configuration management, version control, and globally distributed file management.
