A Model Solution for C3I Message Translation and Validation

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to describe an artifact, the Message Translation and Validation (MTV) model solution. The MTV model solution is a general solution, written in Ada, tha can be used in a system when the system must convert between different representations of a message. These message representations can be character-based, bit-based, and internal (i.e., Ada values). This document enables designers to determine whether this solution is applicable to their particular problem and shows detailed designers how to specify solutions to their particular problem using the MTV model solution. Finally, it describes the MTV model solution in enough detail to enable a maintainer or adapter to understand the solution. This document was written specifically for developers of software systems in the Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I) domain where there is a need to translate and validate incoming and outgoing messages. Enough C3I context information is provided so that developers in other domains, where a need to translate and validate messages also exists, can understand and use the MTV model solution.
