Gemini: Extending Information Management for Real Time Tactical Environments

Abstract

This is the Final Technical Report for the Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) Gemini program, herein referred to as Gemini. The objective of this document is to describe the technical lessons learned, results achieved, and characteristics of the product offering which we have developed within this initial Gemini contract. Gemini focused on the challenges presented by highly dynamic networks and implementing a relatively lightweight and yet robust architecture. JBI is an information management system that provides users with the specific information required for them to perform their functional responsibilities during crisis or conflict. JBI integrates data from a wide variety of sources, aggregates this information, and distributes the information in the appropriate form and level of detail to users at all echelons. The JBI platform for brokering information from a distributed JBI repository provides the following core services to JBI clients : publish, subscribe, query, and control.
