"Information
engineering in support of multilateral joint operational
interoperability "
by
Eric Dorion.
ABSTRACT: Broadly speaking, interoperability can be achieved for systems that sit on top of a single common ontology, or for systems that sit on top of distinct ontologies provided with a means of translation between the crossing domains. An example of the first approach is the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP) that provides a common ontology-oriented solution consisting of the Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (C2IEDM), supporting land-focused joint military operations. In the next 2-year phase, its focus will expand to full-blown joint military operations. This paper describes the information engineering process (ontological engineering) that must take place in order to successfully achieve both interoperability solutions.
"C2
Data Models, at a crossroads"
by Rafael de Solis.
ABSTRACT: Military C2 systems are at a crossroads where there is a need to decide between the “Global Information Grid” that develops the Network Centric Warfare/ Effect Based Operations concepts, in which the information is conceived as a corporate good available anytime and anywhere; and the traditional conception of the information as an integrating element of each one of the “functions” in which the combat is methodologically divided. In the field of information, the dichotomy comes down between having a common data model for all the battlespace functions, or leaving each one to develop its own model and then to use an exchange model to share the common data.

"Information
Interoperability Domains"
by Eddie Lasschuyt.
ABSTRACT: Coalition-wide interoperability can be improved considerably by better harmonisation of all major information standardisation efforts within NATO. This notion is supported by the concept of dividing the NATO C3 information area into more or less independent “information interoperability domains”, collections of information systems that interact via a specific standardised exchange language. Since a single information standard (data model) for the entire NATO C3 area is unlikely to be ever achieved, we will inevitably have multiple domains, related to each other by means of some sort of structure. NATO has to play a co-ordinating role in defining the structure, setting the scope for the domains (and hence the information standards) — hereby minimising the overlap — and providing guidelines for the development of these standards in order to assure that translation between the resulting data models is feasible. Within these margins, specific communities of interest should be made responsible for developing these standards independently. This whole approach, including NATO’s intended role, differs from the current way of working, though migration in this direction is not unrealistic. It would be a significant step towards overall interoperability within (and maybe also outside) NATO.
"On
the performance of the military distributed information systems"
by
Eric Dorion.
ABSTRACT: This thesis reflects on the problem of ensuring performance in military distributed applications. From the general problem, four sub-problems will be identified and explained. As many solutions to address these will be proposed. The sub-problems are: Military command and control measures of merit for system instrumentation, quality of service and related concepts for guaranteeing performance, CORBA architecture in support to performance and a UML-based methodology to encompass performance modelling efforts.
"White
paper on node to node contracting"
by MIP Dutch
Delegation.
ABSTRACT: The white-paper gives a global description about the way node-to-node contracts can be integrated in the MIP DEM solution in a relative easy yet extensible and flexible way. The goal is to implement node-to-node contract for the MIP IOT&E in 2003 and the tests to prepare for this event. If the white-paper is amended by all nations a Change Proposal (CP) has to be written in order to describe the exact impact on the current MIP specifications.
"Power
to the Edge"
by Alberts and Hayes.
ABSTRACT: Power to the Edge articulates the principles being used to provide the ubiquitous, secure, wideband network that people will trust and use, populate with high quality information, and use to develop shared awareness, collaborate effectively, and synchronize their actions. Read Ray Ozzie's Review.
"Complexity
Theory and Network Centric Warfare"
by Moffat.
ABSTRACT: Professor Moffat articulates the mathematical models and equations that clearly demonstrate the relationship between warfare and the emergent behaviour of complex natural systems, as well as a means to calculate and assess the likely outcomes.
"The
Big Issue"
by
Potts.
ABSTRACT: This Occasional considers command and combat in the Information Age. It is an issue that takes us into the realms of the unknown. Defence thinkers everywhere are searching forward for the science and alchemy that will deliver operational success.
"Effects
Based Operations- Applying Network Centric Warfare to Peace,
Crisis, and War"
by Smith.
ABSTRACT: This third book of the Information Age Transformation Series speaks directly to what we are trying to accomplish on the "fields of battle" and argues for changes in the way we decide what effects we want to achieve and what means we will use to achieve them.
"Cutting_The_Gordian_Knot"
by Hamilton.
"Towards
a Standardization of Multi-Agent System Frameworks"
by
Roberto A. Flores-Mendez.
ABSTRACT: Agents are everywhere. People encounter intelligent agents, information agents, mobile agents, personal assistant agents, and other types of agents daily. One might wonder if it is possible to make some sense of this apparent anarchy: What is it that makes an agent? Is there something that agents have in common? How can one organize them to carry out tasks?
