Numerous problems traditionally exist in translating engineering models into usable software systems. The high-level logic of the model is often compromised or confused by the low-level programming logic. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) has established the need for six information management systems, the requirements for which may serve to magnify these problems. An approach to solving these problems involving application frameworks is presented. This approach promises to empower engineers and decision makers by relieving the constraints imposed by traditional software development practices. Application frameworks appropriately place the emphasis of software system development on engineering modeling rather than on details of programming. A 6-year U.S. Department of Defense logistics management program that provides evidence of the viability of application frameworks is described. General recommendations for ISTEA information systems are provided.
