Exploitation of Web Technologies for C2

Abstract

The family of Web Technologies presents a number of new opportunities for applications. These technologies include the variety of machines from hand-held PCs to large systems and the software to give them web accessibility. Without question, the Web has captured the interest and support of the commercial software communities. The authors present some ideas based on findings from ongoing work that show the opportunity that exists for Command and Control (C2) applications, important technology considerations, and a viable approach for incorporating and integrating web technologies. They address some major issues related to the use and relevance of these technologies for C2 such as Scalability, Multi-Site Collaboration, Software Migration, Legacy Integration, Obsolescence, and Extensibility. Web links to sites containing further information are provided.
