Distributed Air Operations Center

Abstract

This report describes the evolution of the Distributed Air Operations Center (DAOC) architecture over the course of several exercises. Background information on distributed planning in general is included in the appendices. DAOC integrates legacy air campaign planning applications with a distributed infrastructure, providing geographically transparent shared operation. The final prototype architecture uses a server-server paradigm to maintain operability at all DAOC sites while exhibiting robust behaviors through network communications slowdowns and outages. The infrastructure uses a suite of CORBA services to accomplish database replication. The CORBA services are integrated with the applications by adding a CORBA layer between the application and the application database. The CORBA services distribute database transactions to all registered sites. The resulting system provides distributed operation which is robust through low bandwidth and communications interruptions.
