Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing explored techniques to enable information, applications, services, storage, and other resources that reside on military networks to be used by web-based clients to perform critical mission functions. The Cloud Computing program created architectures to automatically integrate distributed information bases for broad tactical battlespace awareness and produced the infrastructure and application technologies needed to automate the integration of multiple media (text, video, and digital photographs) as well as its analysis, indexing, and storage. The Digital Object Storage and Retrieval (DOSR) effort pursued a network-based approach to information storage and management that will enable a network-based repository to hold all digital information. DOSR technology enables and facilitates controlled access to information by approved and authenticated users across administrative domains, and in this fashion it will enable transparent sharing of information across the enterprise. The Data Integration and Exploitation SystEm that Learns (DIESEL) effort addressed a significant problem facing the warfighter: the lack of interoperability of stovepiped information systems. DIESEL created a new suite of intelligent information integration tools that automatically understand heterogeneous information systems and integrate them into the existing information environment. The result is more complete and reliable information for better decision-making by warfighters.
