System Concept of Operations Evaluator (SCOPE)
Abstract
Command and control centers and operations centers are environments in which information must be collected, processed, integrated and analyzed in order to accomplish specific missions. To be operationally and economically effective, the system design of these centers and the design of their concept of operations must be coordinated. This is a complex task due to the myriad of information available, the variety and limits of technologies that can be incorporated into the center, and the very large number of activities and information that the technology must support. The System Concept of Operations Evaluator (SCOPE) provides the designer with a tool to address this problem. It enables the designers to capture the complex relationships between various system objects using an object-oriented representation. Furthermore, it facilitates the comparison of alternatives by providing a layered construction process where all the alternatives in a layer utilize the same knowledge defined in the underlying layer. The designer can then analyze either the static relationships of a model or simulate a scenario using discrete event simulation. This report describes the model building concepts and tools concepts of SCOPE.
