This paper reports the results of a study to survey data access and integration architectures being used or considered for use within the domain of DOD Logistics. The goal of the study was to provide a management level briefing on current approaches to data access and integration. One similarity of the architectures surveyed is reliance on middleware to consolidate access to heterogeneous environments: for interoperability, distributed transactions, distributed components, WEB/internet integration, legacy integration, and mainframe qualities of service, which include the need for availability, integrity, scalability, and reliability. It was apparent that no single technology (architecture) will be sufficient.
