Excerpt
Excerpt: The Titan Systems Corporation, System Resources Division (Titan/SRD) was tasked by the Planning, Research, and Evaluation Division (PRED) of the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct system requirements studies for 12 automated systems used in the decennial census. This report is a study of the Matching Review and Coding System (MaRCS) for the Census 2000 Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation program. It addresses the extent to which the requirements definition process was successful in identifying the needed system functionality and offers one of several evaluation approaches for examining these automated systems. The report results are intended to assist in the planning of similar systems for the 2010 Census.
