1. “New” things Discussed in London
Detailed planning for 4/08 demo
Backtrack rehearsals, setups, …
“Military Utility”
Ops planning and data exchange scenario
Useful results from exchange (ideas on later slide)
Documentation
Op Concept Doc AU started
Model description
Methodology (Data TWG could use too)
Training on implementing data exchange (e.g., for federates, vendors)
Model telecon’s between trips

2. 1. Demo Preliminary Plan

3. 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”

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

5. “To-Be” Military Utility Scenario
Visualization Environment
Decision Environment
“To-Be” Military Utility Scenario
Relational DB Query Environment
SQL Query
OWL/RDFS DB Data Mining Environment
RDFS Database
IDEAS Data Exchange Format (RDFS)

19. 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

20. 3. Documentation
Need some preliminary documentation available at conference

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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”

25. 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
