1. Demo Preliminary Plan

2. Military Utility Contrast “as-is” way that Coalition Ops Planning is done with “to-be” Need to show relevant to procedures, tools, methods, … planners would actually use May not look like classic “architecture”

“As-is” We need to document how the Coalition Ops Planning scenario would be done today Manual? (paper, email, faxes, phone calls, meetings, …) Discovery of issues in the field (on-the-job interoperability)

Plan Mock-up some CA-US casualty mgmt process comparison displays (started): Highlight different processes, sequences, information flows, event triggers* Maybe side-by-side Post on IDEAS FTP site for review US review with Joint Forces Command Once OK, see what tool gets us close *truly different, names assumed aligned or mapped

3. Documentation Need some preliminary documentation available at conference

Need to revisit scope and structure IDEAS OCD Current structure: CAPABILITY IDENTIFICATION DEFINITION AND REFERENCE DOCUMENT SOLUTION INDEPENDENT CAPABILITY NEEDS EXISTING COALITION PLANNING SYSTEM SYSTEM SOLUTION DESCRIPTION Mostly TBS/TBD Need to revisit scope and structure

NOT EA-generated document; rather key information IDEAS Model (prelim) Sections for each layer: Foundation Common Patterns Domain Within each: For each package/diagram: Narrative description, diagram walkthru and items of special note Standard data dictionary information Examples NOT EA-generated document; rather key information

IDEAS Methodology (prelim) How IDEAS differs from other methodologies, e.g., “view from nowhere” approach BORO Methodology Set Theory The Naming Pattern Incremental Experimentation BORO overview “Sausage grinders”: Walk thru diagram Examples

IDEAS Usage Guide OWL/RDFS Specification Walk thru Special notes Examples Guidance from experimentation on: Generation from tools and databases Ingestion into tools and databases i.e., “lessons learned” Querying and “data mining”

4. Bi-weekly telecons More modeling, less stausing Track “critical path” issues for 4/08 demo and make sure management team is well aware of Track team action items
