1. Manning and resource levels of DDA Offices plotted
against some measure of their productivity for the
past five years.
The attached two charts are an experimental attempt to
measure the productivity of ODP Processing services
(i.e., computer services as distinct from applications
development services). Processing "output" is measured
by units of computer service which are derived from
ODP Project Activity Report (PAR) "Dollars". (PAR
"dollars" are a relatively consistent measure over time
of computer work performed). Manning and resource levels
have been estimated as ODP average employment-levels
(minus Applications personnel) and ODP Budget (minus
applications development dollars from PAR) respectively.
Processing productivity in computer service output per
dollar shows a slightly increasing trend (3-7% annually).
The productivity per staff member is increasing more
dramatically at an. estimated rate of between 18 and 22%.
At this time, output measures are not available for
estimating applications development productivity.
ODP does not collect some of the traditional. measures,
such as lines of code produced. The utility of a
measure like lines of code is a subject of controversy.

NOTE TO PROCESSING PRODUCTIVITY
(OUTPUT/ :SOURCE $) CHART
For the purpose of this chart, the following
definitions were used.
Processing Productivity is estimated as:
Computer Service Output (millions of units)
Processing Dollars.(in millions)
Computer Service Output is measured by:
Project Activity Report (PAR) Units of Computer Service
(in millions). (In the PAR referred to as millions of
Billable Computer Service dollars.)
and,
Processing Dollars is estimated as:
ODP Budget $ - Applications Programming $ (in millions)
With Applications Programming $ derived from PAR
Billable Manpower dollars (in millions).
The basic data are tabulated on the accompanying
table. From 1974 to 1978 the increase in Processing
Productivity (as defined herein) is 13.2% (1.06 to 1.20)
for an average annual growth rate of 3%. if a trend
line is fitted through the data the growth rate is approx-
imately 7%. Therefore, the growth rate in Processing
Productivity may be estimated as between 3 and 7% for the
1974 - 1978 period.

NOTE ON ODP PROCESSING PRODUCTIVITY CHART
(OUTPUT/STAFFER)
For the purpose of this chart, the following
definitions were used:
Processing Productivity (output/staffer) is estimated
as:
Computer Service Output (in millions of units)
Estimated Average Processing Staff*
where,
Computer Service Output is measured by:
Project Activity Report (PAR) Units of Computer
Service (in millions). (In the PAR referred to
as millions of Billable Computer Service Dollars.)
From 1974 to 1978 the increase in Processing
Productivity (as defined herein) is 98.3% (6.1 to 12.1)
for an average annual growth rate of 18.7%. If a trend
line is fitted to the data the growth rate is estimated
as approximately 22%. Therefore, the growth rate?in
Processing Productivity may be estimated as between
18 and 22% for the 1974 - 1978 period.

4. List of specific current R&D projects that are being
pursued by S&T at the request of DDA Offices.
ODP Response
The following list may not be complete because ODP and
S&T personnel familiar with the current R&D projects
are-on TDY this week.
Develop a provably secure operating system.
06 The idea here is to take R&D efforts
(e.g., KSOS, PSOS, Secure UNIX)*and
determine their applicability to
Agency computer systems, including
network communications.
Develop a disc degausser.
? This project is at, or near, solution.
NSA has just approved a high intensity
magnetic device at Naval Research
Laboratory for use. There is also
some development work going on for
a "wand" type degausser.
Develop techniques for classification markings for
data.
? This request includes both external (e.g.,
automatically marking printouts) and internal
(e.g., dataset identifiers) markings.
Determine information requirements for security audit
trails.
.Develop methods for secure man-machine interfaces.
Develop a secure database management system (DBMS).

5. Examples of vital/critical programs that cannot be

acquisition of contractor personnel to properly support
the following projects. The right hand column indicates

It should also be noted that ODP always has more application
development tasks than we can handle with the man power
available. At the moment we have in process tasks repre-
senting an estimated 59 man-years of effort. Of the
59 man-years of effort, we estimate it will take 43
man-years to complete 153 tasks that are being worked
on and an additional 16 man-years to complete another
42 tasks that have not been initiated to date. We have
another 67 tasks that have not been sized and these,
perhaps, represent our backlog. Last year we received
524 work requests.
