  4. Phase II BAF Task Overview Identify and Establish DoD and Commercial Partners Maintain Community Involvement Schedule and Conduct IPRs 4

  5. Phase II Plus Up - BARN Task Overview Overall Objective – Add BOM-level functionality to RCIP Navigator so that BOMs can be used to perform a “quick-look” simulation analysis of “as-is” and “to-be” capabilities. 5

  6. Phase II Plus Up - CMod Task Overview Overall Objective – • Develop a tool to assist in the reverse engineering of a set of existing systems and extract their models (i.e., FOMs) into reusable BOMs: BOMs that can be used in understanding each system’s capabilities at the conceptual level. • Resulting tool (identified as CMod Generator) is intended to provide a mechanism to support conceptual execution of a proposed models and capabilities. 6

FOM BASS Database Management System What if I have other items? BOMs Data FOMs Use the BASS Library Management System - Add BOMs to the Library - Discover BOMs in the Library 16 - Pull BOMs from the Library - Used to manage items of different types

  15. What is the RCIP Navigator? Represents a wizard-style approach to assisting Program Managers, PEOs, OPNAV and other users in navigating their efforts through the RCIP. Also provides web-accessible views of all programs within the RCIP, allowing high-level monitoring and status reporting as needed. What integration is required for BAF Automation of the RCIP Navigator? RCIP Navigator will utilize Base Object Models (BOMs) to support the RCIP process Provide capability (via BOMs) to determine/evaluate proposed and existing capabilities and systems. Leverage and use BAF accordingly Highlights - BARN Overview Related work – • N-053 - Modeling the Impact of Technology Transition on Ship Capabilities 18

  17. BAF Automation of the RCIP Navigator (BARN) AAXE • Tool = Automation and Extraction Agent (AAXE) • prototype tool • Java-based, • runs on multiple platforms • Can integrate / wrap-around any client application • E.g. RCIP Nav • Will leverage BAF web services & BOMs • How does it interact with the RCIP Navigator? • Capable of automating the execution process of the model • Able to extract/write BOM info from the model’s execution output • Can be retooled as a component instead of a standalone application • Where is it at this moment in time? • Executes XML script • Allows manipulation of XML scripts • BASS Integration (storage and retrieval of files) Scripts developed to execute the model in ProcessModel (i.e. RCIP Nav) and force export the data to an Excel spreadsheet. 20

  23. Background - Minimizing the Obfuscation in the “Mix” - The Need for Aggregation Support Aggregation - the coupling of multiple models/entities into a single inclusive group • Aggregation Obstacles • Models typically not built for aggregation • Simulation systems often have to be customized • Data loss during the aggregation process • limited resources to perform aggregation • Aggregation Needs • Reduced customization of simulation systems • Minimal burden to manage aggregation by simulation systems • Maintain validity 27

  24. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) FOCUS Common interface(s) Loose coupling Minimize unnecessary dependencies Background - SOA Use Case Design => BAF • Aggregation Services • Model Composition aggregation / deaggregation • Entity Instance aggregation / deaggregation • Library Support Services • Library Methods (load, search, fetch, add) • Support for BOMs, FOMs, BTMs, BCIs • Monitoring/Intercessory Services • Data Logging Support • Load Balancing Support • Transfer Control Support • Model Transformation Support • Statistics/Scoreboard Support • Support Services • BOM to FOM transformations • FOM to BOM transformations • FOM to FOM transformations BAF goals: • Cost-effective mechanism for aggregation /deaggregation before or during large-scale simulation exercises • Reduce high resolution models to more efficient lower resolution models that can be aggregated • Allow models representing various levels of resolution and depth of aggregation to be able to interact with one another . 28

  25. 1st Level 2ndt Level Background - BAF Supported Aggregations Aggregation Types Model Aggregation Entity Instance Aggregation Aggregation Levels 29

  26. Background - BAF Aggregate Triggers/Criteria • Proximity to a specific obstacle, entity or feature • A change in the level of interest • An increase (or decrease) in the physical entity load Possible aggregation due to proximity to geographical location or point Possible aggregation due to proximity to client entities or domain of interest 30

  27. Background - BAF Implementation => BASS • Technologies Applied • Java (Eclipse) • Web Services • Independent WSDLsfor each service group • Not dependent on dedicated server • Uses and generates BOMs • Apache 31

  29. General Community involvement - SIW, Papers, I/ITSEC maintain and populate a web-based repository Extend Selected BOMs and BOM Assemblies with Behavior Descriptions BOM Component Implementations Mature the Capture of BOM Meta-Data from Users User friendly capture process of metadata pre-fill all possible information based on already known details (such as user information, project information, etc.), limit the use of keyboard entry for the collection of information Web service search / candidate list of BOMs recommend and/or allow use of other BOMs as a pattern template if an exact match cannot be found, provide pertinent graphical representation when at all possible, maximum the use of color to quickly reflect status and interest points to the user. NOTE: feature not restricted only to RCIP Navigator Demonstrate RCIP Navigator Access to the BOM Component Repository ( to be used by AAXE Create a reusable component that can provide the access needed to interact appropriately with the BOM Component Repository. Demonstrate the use and application of this component with RCIP Navigator – show “smart” access to the repository Make use of rule-sets, access-mechanism, UDDI, etc… Design and Prototype a BOM supported Script Language Script Language to be used by AAXE Leverage metadata in BOMs to establish first-generation test scenario. Use for a quick-check of the validity of the BOM-mix SG capability may be represented as a web-service, such that BOMs and/or BOM-sets can be submitted and the first-order scenario returned. The representation of the scenario would most likely be in an XML-based language set like the Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL). Design and Prototype a BOM-based Component Simulation Environment a “quick-look” simulation of the RCIP candidate capability formulate the set of BOMs into an executable model, ensure that the behavior has been appropriately described for the model, generate first-order scenario, and then execute the “quick-look” simulation. The results from this simulation would then be delivered to the RCIP Navigator. Possible candidates for this include Simulation Reference Markup Language (SRML), OneSAF Objective System (OOS) Java Beans, or even Macromedia’s Flash. This environment could also be stood-up as a “BOM Evaluator” such that the results would be used to grade the completeness-level and complexity-level of the BOM, BOM Assembly, or BOM Aggregate. Background - BARN Task Overall Objective – Add BOM-level functionality to RCIP Navigator so that BOMs can be used to perform a “quick-look” simulation analysis of “as-is” and “to-be” capabilities. 33
