The move towards Network Enabled Capability (NEC) by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) is designed to achieve enhanced military effect through the networking and coherent integration of existing and future resources including sensors, weapon systems, and decision makers to achieve greater agility in the prosecution of military operations. One of the many challenges of realizing NEC is engineering systems...
In recent years, Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) have risen in use as an architectural style for distributed systems. They have many desirable features such as flexibility, software reuse and cost benefits. In addition to this, SOA enables and indeed encourages the binding of services at runtime in the form of dynamic binding. Here, services are bound to service requests at runtime and the choice...
For the provision of dependable search and rescue capability in dynamic and unpredictable disaster areas, each networked node should have ability to (1) autonomously support and co-operate with each other in a peer-to-peer (P2P) manner to quickly discover and dependably self-configure services available on the disaster area to deliver a real-time capability; (2) modify their behaviours to deliver...
For provision of dependable search and rescue capability in dynamic and unpredictable disaster areas, the networked nodes should have the ability to autonomously support and co-operate with each other in a peer-to-peer (P2P) manner to quickly configure any services available on the disaster area to deliver a real-time capability. In this paper, we present an innovative architectural approach which...
The vision of service-oriented computing is one of loosely coupled services that create agile applications to encapsulate business objectives and processes. The potential of services to form complex systems of systems, with emergent behaviour, necessitates the need to understand how we can we develop sufficient confidence in their qualities. In this paper we argue that successful development and evolution...
Network enabled capability (NEC) is the U.K. Ministry of Defencepsilas response to the quickly changing conflict environment in which its forces must operate. In NEC, systems need to be integrated in context, to assist in human activity and provide dependable inter-operation. In order to provide reliable and sustainable military capability, fast paced changes must be conducted without halting the...
Service oriented architecture (SOA) is becoming established in computing as a means to integrate processing and data across organisations. This paper proposes that system-level integration can benefit from service oriented architectural descriptions and loose coupling between the problem domain requirements and different system solutions. The problem domain is exemplified as military capability, from...
Service oriented architecture (SOA) allows multiple and heterogeneous data resources to be integrated within a single service while hiding the implementation details and formats of data resources from users of the service. However, data sources for a service are often distributed geographically and connected with long-latency networks; time and bandwidth consumption of data transportation may have...
The concept of a scenario has long been utilized in military procurement as a means of evaluating capability in an operational context. With the advent of initiatives such as the USA Department of Defence's Network-Centric Operations and the UK Ministry of Defence's Network Enabled Capability, research into the application of service-oriented architectures (SOA) as a means of delivering capability...
A proposed grid middleware system includes specific enhancements to support the development and assessment of highly secure, dependable, service-oriented grid systems and applications. Service-oriented architectures can be defined as application architectures "within which all functions are defined as independent services.
