Abstract: In this paper, a strategy is developed studying a simplicial 
commutative algebra A whose zeroth homotopy group is a Noetherian ring B 
and whose higher homotopy groups are finite over B. The strategy replaces A 
with a connected simplicial supplemented k(q)-algebra, for each prime ideal q 
in B, which preserves much of the Andre-Quillen homology of A. The methods 
for this construction involves a mixture of methods of homotopy theory 
(e.g. Postnikov towers) with methods of commutative algebras (e.g. completions,
Cohen factorizations). We finish by indicating how these methods resolve a 
more general form of a conjecture posed by Quillen.
