I-WFM for Real-Time C4I Process Management

Abstract

Ongoing advances in globally netted C4ISR systems have ushered in a new era in which information technologies (IT) can be exploited to create unprecedented capabilities that will allow dispersed military forces to operate synchronously with great agility and superior situation awareness. The realization of such capabilities will inevitably be accompanied with changes in command processes, organizational structures and doctrine. In particular, IT holds great promise in the rapid design, re-engineering, automation aiding, and management of command processes. The focus of this three-year R&D effort is to develop, demonstrate, and transition components of Intelligent Process Management (IPM) technology in support of C4ISR. The R&D performed in Phase I of this three-year effort is the subject of this report. The overall goal of this three-year effort was to develop, demonstrate, and transition intelligent process management technology. The objectives of Phase I of this effort were to: a) develop a conceptual framework for creating the major building blocks of intelligent process management; b) create a command process (re)design and analysis capability; c) model representative command processes for a target application; d) create a command process monitoring and visualization capability; and e) demonstrate the evolving IPM capabilities at DARPA program workshops and Principal Investigator meetings.
