Network Tempo Shared Understanding Effectors Sensors Network Centric Capability? Network Enabled Capability!
Network Enabled Capability • Goal: • To radically enhance our operational capability by improving the way we share information and how we use it • Key Objective: • To provide a coherent conceptual and technical framework to link sensors, decision-makers and effectors

Is there a difference? • Breadth • Depth • Fidelity • Immersion • Rapidity • Cost
Is there really a difference? • Communities • OA, SE, WFE, T&E, HF • Science, Military, Administrative • Personalities • Objective, Subjective, Judgemental, Analytic • Control • Assumptions, Models, Processes, Resources, Outcomes
The trick… • Selling the benefits of evidence based decision making • Bringing the communities together • Linking the data, assumptions, models and techniques
In short… • Experimentation is an OA technique… • OA supports experimentation… • Recursion… see recursion…
