© 2008 Swan Island Networks 2 Introduction, bias & rules Introduction: Biz and technical guy Lots of experience (AKA made many mistakes) Writing a book, building a company Bias: Action – do something, fix it, repeat Standards – do it predictably once it works Rules/request for this presentation: Make it interesting – life is short Questions drive response and focus Critical feedback appreciated

© 2008 Swan Island Networks 3 Bottom line up front ( BLUF ) Interoperable data important Moving toward critical mass globally Massive increase in structured feeds: Sensors, systems (CAP), publishers (RSS) Disparate examples – I/M to E/M Govt taking active interest - NIEM 3 choices: Make it happen Watch it happen Wonder what happened

COBOL – Grace Hopper - Arlington Credit Cards – early standard data Uniform Product Codes IBM PC – normalized many other types TCP/IP – trumped several competitors World Wide Web (HTML) – When? Who? SGML/XML – structure for other machines instead of pages for people

Traits: Cross organizational (FSLTIPP) Comprehensible (sent/received) Trusted (publisher/recipient) Re-purposeable Where it failed: 9/11 – dots failed to connect (2001) Indonesian Tsunami (2004) Katrina – incredible lack of comms (2005) Recent Australia fires (2009) Are we much improved? No.

© 2008 Swan Island Networks 7 Common Alerting Protocol Art Botterell – California, Contra Costa Disparate & proprietary systems Emergency Interoperability Committee OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) Versions 1.1 – Now in NIEM Adopters: NOAA, USGS – weather, tsunami, quakes Comcare Alliance FEMA – IPAWS WMO – World weather
8
© 2008 Swan Island Networks 8 Key CAP Design Principals Simple Interoperable Complete Multi-use Familiarity Interdisciplinary International
9
© 2008 Swan Island Networks 9 Some CAP uses today NOAA (US Weather) WMO (global weather) USGS Earthquake Tsunami Warning Sensor alerts 9-1-1 feeds Geo-political alerts Transportation Ships (AIS) Health Alerts Snow load (WM) LE Events (raid) Financial events Incident mgmt – WEB EOC, ETEAM FEMA-IPAWS

© 2008 Swan Island Networks 10 TIES – Trusted Information Exchange System Bias – My product Visual - Dashboards Easy to use – little to no training Trusted Communities - authorized Built around CAP and other standards Targeting & filtering Common and User Defined Operating Picture Real time, real easy
11
© 2008 Swan Island Networks 11 Why important for transparency? Data allows you do what you need Supports real time notifications Geospatial alerts – monitor by region, district, neighborhood Targeting and filtering – get what you want Systems can interlock with each other easily versus proprietary code or trying to have one system
