One statement of the vision for future
warfighting is βthe right data to the right
warfighter at the right time.β As simple as it
sounds, this statement has profound implications
for systems and software that are expected to
make it reality. To fulfill this vision, many
engineering, organizational, and technology
issues need to be resolved. Engineering issues include constant evolution, dynamic composition, and predicting emergent
behavior.
Key organizational requirements include a shared
global vision, understanding how constituents
influence each other, processes, and legal and
business frameworks.
Underlying technologies required for Network Centric Warfare (NCW), such
as Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and
Model Driven Architectures (MDA), are evolving.
We must understand what can be accomplished
today and the remaining research challenges.
This presentation will explore some of those
issues, noting things we know how to do now and
those we do not. It will propose appropriate
research topics for those implications that need
further work.
