  2. Agenda • Background • Review of Terms of Reference as approved by EXCOM • Tasks and Products • Process • Schedule/Milestones • Summary of Purpose and Goals • Open Discussion Period • Tasks • Milestones • Wrap-up

  3. Background: SISO Role • SISO provides a forum for the interchange of new ideas, concepts, and technology across the broad M&S community, and lays the groundwork for subsequent standards development • An intermediate step between the presentations and working group meetings at the workshops and standards development, SISO also charters Study Groups (SG) to study specific topics/issues that may ultimately bear on the development of standards

  4. Background: Purpose of SG-C4I • Goals • Reduction of the number of C2-to-simulation interfaces to a small number of connection solutions between COE and HLA-compliant RTIs • Develop processes for matching the standards being developed for the HLA which govern simulations and those of the JTA which govern real systems • Make recommendations for standards development (SDGs) • Approach • Bring together key players to study feasibility of potential approaches for development of C4I–to-simulation interfaces

  5. Background: SG-C4I TOR Approval • TOR presented to CC and SAC prior to Spring 99 SIW • TOR approved by CC March 1999 • Revaluation of Study Group chartering by CC, SAC, EXCOM • Revised TOR approved by EXCOM in August 1999

  6. TOR: SG-C4I Rationale • As SISO and the M&S community moves towards standardizing federate interfaces based on the emerging High Level Architecture (HLA), the DOD C4I community has been evolving the Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) and the Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE) • The C4ISR M&S community believes that interface standardization issues between real C4I equipment and simulations exist and should now be addressed

  7. TOR: General Tasks • Recommend an approach that will support an appropriate and necessary level of interoperability between real C4I systems and HLA-based simulations. • Deliver a report with recommendations for development of simulation-to-C4I interface standards • Develop and include a C4I Data and Interface Lexicon, along with all appropriate bibliography references that support the findings of the SG.

  8. TOR: Specific Task Areas • Evaluation of existing approaches to coupling C4I systems and simulations • Migration concepts for legacy systems • Technical standards for migration (e.g. XML) • Development of C4I, C2, and other related Reference FOMs • Development of a C4ISR CMMS • Review any proposed C4I Interface Technical Reference Models • Relationships between the HLA and the JTA • Information Modeling concepts to support the FEDEP for C4ISR federations • Data standards which can link systems to simulations (e.g., impacts of CCSIL) • Transfer/authentication of data/Meta-data • Data coherence issues (e.g., redundant feedback loops) • Effects of the environment, including communications effects, on C4I systems

  9. TOR: Performance Period • The Study Group shall begin work at the 1999 Fall Simulation Interoperability Workshop (SIW) • The Study Group shall submit an interim report at the Spring 2000 SIW • The Study Group shall complete work and submit a final report to the SAC and CC by the 2000 Fall SIW

  10. TOR: SG-C4I Membership Officers • SG-C4I Chair: Joe Lacetera • SG-C4I Vice Chair: Don Timian • CC POC: Rick Severinghaus • SAC POC: Michael Myjak Forum POCs/Liaisons: • RPR-FOM Group Keith Briggs • C4I Forum John Roberts • SLT Chris Wertman General membership • SG-C4I membership/participation is open to all who wish to contribute • Those interested in being members of the SG-C4I are invited to subscribe to the SIW-ISG-C4I reflector

  11. SG-C4I Task Development Process • Chair will post tasks/sub-tasks (with expected completion dates) which will contribute to accomplishment of the identified SG-C4I tasks • Members may comment upon and suggest revisions to the sub-tasks and volunteer to be responsible for them • Chair will modify sub-tasks as appropriate and assign completion responsibilities • Individuals responsible for drafting material will post it on the study group reflector for review/comment/revision • When material is considered final, those enrolled on the study group reflector will be asked to vote on its acceptability as an SG-C4I product

  12. SG-C4I Publication Process • General policy of the SG-C4I will be to make available preliminary and final products as soon as they are available, when to do so would further the goals of the SG-C4I and the SISO community • Subgroups should produce SIW papers • Chair will write summary paper/report • Final Product/Products will list all contributors

  13. SG-C4I Products • Intermediate Products to be determined • SIW papers by subgroups • Summary Report • Formal Product Report • Recommendations on simulation-to-C4I interface standards • C4I Data and Interface Lexicon Bibliography of references that support the findings of the ISG • Products/papers and other references available on C4ISR web site

  14. Status of SG Products • SG products should be viewed as steps toward development of material which may be useful in the creation of SISO standards or other SISO products by a Standards Development Group • SG products are not expected to have the stature of a formal SISO product (such as a SISO standard) themselves, but SG-C4I products and reports are expected to identify areas for further study and discussion and/or may contribute directly to the development of one or more Standard Nomination submissions

  15. SG-C4I General Schedule • Preliminary SG-C4I meeting was held in August 1999 • Kickoff meeting Fall 1999 SIW • Interim SG-C4I meeting January 2000 to finalize SG-C4I products prior to the March 2000 SIW • Final task and product reported at the Spring 2000 SIW

  16. SG-C4I Product Milestones Fall 1999 SIW Official “Kickoff” Meeting (Tasks set) 10 Jan 00 Authors post "final" drafts 24-28 Jan 00 Interim Meeting 28 Feb 00 Authors present updated chapters March 2000 SIW 17 July 00 Authors present chapter updates 7 Aug 00 Interim meeting Final version of every section is completed for assembly Fall 2000 SIW Final Report

  17. Summary • The C4ISR M&S community recognize that interface standardization issues for interfacing real C4I equipment and simulations exist and should be addressed • SG TOR has been approved with the following General Tasks • Recommend an approach that will support an appropriate and necessary level of interoperability between real C4I systems and HLA-based simulations • Deliver a report with recommendations for development of simulation-to-C4I interface standards • Develop and include a C4I Data and Interface Lexicon, along with all appropriate bibliography references that support the findings of the SG • The Study Group shall complete work and submit a final report to the SAC and CC by the 2000 Fall SIW
