Cloud Computing
Abstract
(U) Cloud Computing is a technique to enable information, applications, services, storage, and other resources that reside on military networks to be used by web-based clients to perform critical mission functions. The Cloud Computing program will create architectures to automatically integrate distributed information bases for broad tactical battlespace awareness. The Cloud Computing program will produce the infrastructure and application technologies needed to automate the integration of multiple media (text, video, and digital photographs) as well as its analysis, indexing, and storage so that it can be easily queried and retrieved by users across the DoD enterprise. Inherent to such ubiquitous availability of enterprise data is the need for strong security including fine-grained/role-based access controls. The concepts and technology will continue in PE 0602305E, Project MCN-01 under Web-Scale Information Integration. • The Digital Object Storage and Retrieval (DOSR) effort is pursuing a network-based approach to information storage and management that will enable a network-based repository to hold all digital information. The DOSR repository will reside on the network and provide a mechanism for the virtual (i.e., logical, not physical) centralization of all enterprise information. DOSR technology will enable and facilitate controlled access to information by approved and authenticated users across administrative domains, and in this fashion it will enable transparent sharing of information across the enterprise. Repositories built on DOSR technology will, in addition, provide a single distributed platform/framework for additional document/content/information services including indexing, metadata creation, search, versioning, and records management, resulting in the warfighter’s ability to take full advantage of all available pertinent information in a rapid and flexible manner. • The Data Integration and Exploitation SystEm that Learns (DIESEL) effort will address a significant problem facing the warfighter: the lack of interoperability of stovepiped information systems. DIESEL will create a new suite of intelligent information integration tools that will learn to automatically understand heterogeneous information systems and integrate them into the existing information environment. The result will be more complete and reliable information as the basis for better decision-making for warfighters.
