The IEEE 1516-2010 — Standard for Modeling and Simulation High Level Architecture (HLA) range of standards are widely used for distributed simulation, interoperability, reusability and the modeling of large-scale systems in many application domains. Although it provides several advantages, the development of distributed simulations based on the HLA standards remains a challenging task that requires...
It is the aim of IoT-Testware to supply a rich set of TTCN-3 test suites and test cases for IoT technologies to enable developers in setting up a comprehensive test environment of their own, if needed from the beginning of a project. Initially, IoT-Testware will focus on protocols like CoAP and MQTT. To ensure test and implementation technology independence, the test suites will be realized in TTCN-3...
Coalition or Joint Forces operations involving multiple countries utilizing Net-Centric Warfare (NCW) is the need and trend of the modern battlefield. These heterogeneous forces have heterogeneous equipments adhering to their country's standards and specifications. This pushes for systems-of-systems interoperability to allow multinational manning of platforms operating within a combined command structure...
Today's military platforms are equipped with variety of sensors and effectors. However, these components are rarely interconnected or are only linked via manufacturer-specific, proprietary interfaces. This hinders changes to and extensions of platform components. Often platform modifications are only possible with the help of the original integrator, which complicates a seamless integration of new...
The battlefield scenarios are changing around the world presenting new challenges for the military. Battlefield environments have moved from the open to urban and constricted spaces forcing the military to adopt new doctrines and tactics for effective attack and defence. Whilst there have been many advances at the equipment level to support the ground forces i.e. the evolution of military vehicles...
Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses numerous old and new technologies under its umbrella; which means there is a huge diversity in types of devices, protocols and mechanisms that are to be supported. Things by themselves need to inter-network and collaborate to provide the necessary level of service expected out of them, working in isolation does not help in many cases. Interoperability issues have...
A framework to integrate different artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms is combined with an execution framework to create a powerful cloud computing system development platform. By providing an execution framework and control software that is native to cloud architectures and supports interactivity and time synchronization, the true utility of cloud computing and "big data...
The need for customer-centric agile integrated environment offered in an on-demand self-service manner challenges the traditional R&E operations support systems. The service provider architecture proposed in this paper aims to satisfy end-user's requirements by providing a coordinated provisioning of virtualized resources through automation. Empowered by the establishment of open collaborative...
Battlefield environments are evolving and presenting new challenges for the military all around the world. This is pushing the necessity for evolution of military sensor technologies at an unprecedented rate. While military contractors and manufacturers are coming up with newer and improved technologies, the commercial domain is growing at a much faster rate. It is high time that the military introduces...
Every industry is adopting Cloud Computing platform due to its low cost services and zero overheads of maintenance and upgrades. Several new issues are generated because of this wide adoption which are concern to both cloud service provider and cloud service users. Cloud service providers are facing the issue of resource limitations. Cloud service users are facing the issue of vendor lock-in. Federated...
This paper introduces a research program for investigating the technologies and challenges in achieving seamless integration between Defence’s Tactical and Enterprise technology domains. The tactical technology domain encompasses the platforms, networks and supporting systems through which the Australian Defence Force (ADF) operates to achieve the commander’s intent. Similarly, the enterprise technology...
The capability to operate cloud-native applications can generate enormous business growth and value. But enterprise architects should be aware that cloud-native applications are vulnerable to vendor lock-in. We investigated cloud-native application design principles, public cloud service providers, and industrial cloud standards. All results indicate that most cloud service categories seem to foster...
This paper provides a number of recommendations for expressing the behavioral semantics of a digital health enterprise. This includes the specification of policies, processes and services, with a particular focus on the RM-ODP enterprise and computational concerns. We believe that these behavioral aspects are needed to complement well developed expression of information semantics. The paper is motivated...
It has been ten years since the publication of our first paper reporting on the beginning of a new national e- health interoperability journey in Australia and the interoperability framework developed by National e-health Transition Authority (NEHTA) [1]. Many new technologies, standard efforts and architecture approaches have emerged since then. Many new lessons were also learned by different stakeholders...
Mobile agent technology is an emerging concept that becomes a new exciting field in computer science and being applied to a number of applications areas like: mobile computing, e-commerce, information retrieval, network management and telecommunications. The power of these agents in solving complex problems is due to many characteristics. They can achieve their goals in a flexible way by using interaction...
In the domain of e-health, there are diverse and heterogeneous health care systems with different brands on various platforms. One of the most important challenges in this field is the interoperability which plays a key role on information exchange and sharing. Achieving the interoperability is a difficult task because of complexity and diversity of systems, standards, and kinds of information. The...
Cloud computing enables the on-demand delivery of resources for a multitude of services and gives the opportunity for small agile companies to compete with large industries. In the telco world, cloud computing is currently mostly used by mobile network operators (MNO) for hosting non-critical support services and selling cloud services such as applications and data storage. MNOs are investigating...
Complex application deployment and management over multiple heterogeneous PaaS platform is one of the key problems that have emerged with the cloud technology revolution. Presently, vendor lock-in has become a major PaaS technology challenge. Multi-Cloud PaaS Architecture (MCPA) has been recently proposed research project, intended to resolve complexity and interoperability challenges. MCPA offers...
The growing amount of information produced by automatic systems is often associated with the paradigm of Big Data. Next to this approach it remains the interest in integrating information of different origin within a shared framework, conceptually able to be formalized by an ontology. The IEC Common Information Model (CIM) is a natural candidate to take on the role of reference ontology in the electrical...
In this work we introduce the EUBrazilCC federated cloud e-infrastructure based on Fogbow, a new middleware designed to support federation of IaaS cloud providers according to a novel approach. It is based on the provision of federation functionalities offered at a higher architectural level than current approaches by being deployed on top of the IaaS cloud orchestrators of each federation member...
