Coalition-Based Development for Next Generation Net-Centric Systems-of-Systems Infrastructure On Demand Webcast

Current and future net-centric systems-of-systems, such as combat management systems, land systems, and air traffic control systems, are being developed in coalition-based consortia. In these systems-of-systems different parties provide components of applications and infrastructure, much of which is based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and military off-the-shelf (MOTS) components. In these heterogeneous environments, integration of software components becomes a major challenge, not only at the protocol level, but also in terms of common semantics and overall systems-of-systems behavior. To facilitate the integration of net-centric systems-of-systems, a Common Information Model (CIM) is needed to express the semantics of relevant information and fulfill functions in the development process. For example, a CIM can help elucidate requirements from customers during earlier phases of a project and can also provide a basis for component-based software development and large-scale reuse of assets in software product lines during the later phases.

This webcast will highlight how an integrated tooling-environment based upon Data Distribution Service (DDS), in synergy with the CORBA Component Model (CCM) can capture and exploit the CIM during the phases of net-centric systems-of-systems design, development, integration and evolution/maintenance as well as benefiting from their runtime coexistence.

CTO, PrismTech
Doug is an internationally renowned and widely cited expert on distributed computing middleware, object-oriented patterns and frameworks, and distributed real-time and embedded systems. He has authored 8 best-selling books and over 300 papers in top IEEE, ACM, IFIP, and USENIX technical journals, conferences, and books—and has also presented over 300 keynote addresses, invited talks, and tutorials—that cover a range of topics, including high-performance communication software systems, parallel processing for high-speed networking protocols, real-time distributed computing with DDS and CORBA, Real-time Java™ technology, object-oriented patterns for concurrent and distributed systems, and model-driven engineering tools.

Dr. Angelo Corsaro
OpenSplice DDS CTO, PrismTech
Angelo co-chairs the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) Special Interest Group and the Real-Time Embedded and Specialized Services (RTESS) Task Force. He is a well known figure in the distributed real-time and embedded systems middleware community and has a wealth of experience in hard real-time embedded systems, large-scale and very large-scale distributed systems, such as defense, aerospace, homeland security and transportation systems. Prior to joining PrismTech, he worked for the SELEX-SI CTO Directorate, a FINMECCANICA company, where his responsibilities included mapping business requirements to technology capabilities, strategic standardization and technology innovation.
