2. 2 Overview - CoAX Binni 2001 CoAX TIE seen as: successful, still having momentum, being a suitable core for any follow-on. Aim of this briefing: explain what we did, suggest how it can be exploited for 2002 demos.

3. 3 Overview - Issues Everyone understood the military context / value of all contributions (singly and collectively). TIE aims clearly stated: overall (integrated agents - working collaboratively), for each stage / demonstration, for each partner (about 17). Expressed in the CoAX scenario / overview document. Success due to: mutual respect, goodwill and commitment, good communication, shared vision / understanding, willingness to be flexible / use RAD techniques, technical competence / inventiveness.

4. 4 Overview - Issues - Technical Provision of working infrastructure: hardware / network / IP etc, software / Grid / JVMs etc. Integration tasks: agent message markup, enabling interoperability between partners technical contributions, ensuring technical contributions are compatible, configuration management / versioning, knowing how to run the software!

5. 5 Overview - Issues - Staging (1) Agreed aim / coherent story / 'so-what' factor: agreed approach to be used (live demo / screencam etc), scenario / storyboard design, agree staging (who, what, where, how and WHY!). Scripts: technical script (s) / technical operators, narrator's script (s) / narrator. Presentations: scene-setting / overview presentation, integrating partner's presentations. Overview Handout(s).

6. 6 Overview - Issues - Staging (2) Rehearsals. For the demonstration: stage management of: –machines, projectors and screens (video switching), –narrators and operator co-ordination. timings, changeovers. Fall-back options, eg: screencams, PowerPoint engineering.

7. 7 Overview - Issues - Follow-up DVD / CD for distribution. Posters. Web-site maintenance.

9. 9 Exploitation for 2002... Agree the unified and coherent story that needs to be told: what is the military context? what needs to proven / shown (metrics etc) and why? how will it be done? Give due attention to the: storyboarding / scripting / stage management, integration. Keep the technology in its place and use it to tell a militarily valid story. Understand: the part to be played by each partner's contribution, the overall architecture (and how it all fits together)...
