User Requirements for the Enterprise Data to Decisions Information Environment

"The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the research institutions supporting it conduct extensive personnel analysis to manage and enhance America’s all-volunteer military forces. DOD desires a new data-hosting analytic computing resource—currently known as the Enterprise Data to Decisions Information Environment (EDDIE)—to augment current data and collaborative capacities. This document presents collaboratively-developed research user requirements reflecting the desired user experience and developed in a manner consistent with the DOD Business Capability Acquisition Cycle (BCAC). We do not attempt to translate these user requirements into technical architectures or detailed computational specifications."
