Net-Centric Operations Working Group
for additional information or to join this group.
Accomplishments/Products
The NCO Working Group was formed in International Symposium 2005 in Rochester, New York, USA. At that time three interim teams were formed. They were:
Literature Survey
Perform literature survey to collect the existing public accessible documents and information for System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) Process and Architecture Development Guidance (ADG) from INCOSE papers, commercial companies, government, net-centric communities, Net-Centric Operations Industrial Consortium (NCOIC), Association for Enterprise Integration (AFEI), and other professional societies, such as, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), etc.
Team Leader: Dr. Cihan Dagli
Team Members: Hillary Sillitto, Charles Adler, Michael Maar, Tom Huynh, Michael Henshaw
Defining the Needs and Reason for Net-Centric Operations
Conduct survey with CAB members and Chapter members.
Team Lead:Karl Geist
Team Members: Naomi Cohen, Maxwell (Max) Miller, John Osmundson, Leonard Sadauskas
Understanding Perspectives from Different Stakeholders
Identify, communicate and conduct survey with different stakeholders. They can be commercial companies, governments and institutes worldwide.
Team Lead: Duncan Kemp
Team Members: Joe Bedocs, Gary Crosby, Dave Snell
We presented a panel discussion and three papers in IS 2006. They were:
- Different Approaches to Realizing Net-Centric Solutions.
- Network Centric Operations Implementations in Several Domains.
- Systems Engineering Net-Centric Solutions: An Analysis of Different Perspectives.
Current Projects
During the working group meeting held in IS 2006, we have formed the following three project teams:
Architecture Development Guidance
- Study the DoDAF, MODAF, etc.
- Identify the insufficient areas in DoDAF, MODAF, etc.
- Develop a robust ADG
- Understood architectural principles and practices
- Develop Enterprise Architecture considering hardware/software systems, political, economic, social, technological, ecological, and legal aspects.
- Develop Services Oriented Architecture
- Focus on usability rather just on performance.
- Users may be people and/or other systems.
- Flexible enough to be not used by original architects and designers
System-of-Systems Engineering Process
- Understand the existing System-of Systems Engineering (SoSE) process.
- Develop a robust SoSE Process that will be best supportable to network system development.
- There is a need for more and better “synthesis” techniques that can produce more robust and balanced SoS solutions.
- Integration of systems engineering and software.
- SoSE Management
- Develop SoSE Risk Management.
- Develop SoSE Trade Study methodology.
- Develop SoSE Technical Performance Measurement.
- Develop SoSE verification and validation strategy.
SoSE Research and Education
- Focus on SoSE Process.
- Study Architecture modeling.
- Study International standardized educational methods and terminology
