Extreme C2 and Multi-Touch, Multi-User Collaborative User Interfaces
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce two things, the concept of Extreme C2 and a technological implementation for this collaborative, net-centric concept. Extreme C2 is a concept that applies elements of the eXtreme Programming (XP) concept. This collaborative development technique can increase the adaptability and quality of software, something of high value in the complex domain of enterprise software. When fused with net-centric concepts, Automated Battle Management Aids (ABMAs) and new human interface techniques, the application of this concept to C2 should be able to produce similar benefits for planning in military operations, particularly complex, multifaceted operations. This concept will be demonstrated through the use of a multi-touch, multi-user interface screen built on top of net centric services. The paper will provide the results of a case study from a SPAWAR Charleston experiment about Operationalizing FORCEnet. We will evaluate the impact of Extreme C2 with Multi-Touch Multi-User (MTMU) technology on metrics like agility and speed of decision.
