  1. Network-Centric OperationsIndustry Consortium (NCOIC) “Patterns 101” Webex Meeting for Journalists October 27, 2009 V1.0-2009-10-26

  2. How is the NCOIC going to makeDiverse Systems Interoperate? • NCOIC has developed Standard Tools & Procedures(all are free for Public Use) • SCOPE Model to understand Interoperability Needs • NCAT™ Assessments to measure degree of Interoperability • NCOIC Interoperability Framework (NIF™)& Net-Centric Patterns • A Net-Centric Pattern provides practical expert guidance based on open standards for creating systems with desired net-centric capabilities in order to mitigate specific net-centric interoperability problems • NCOIC Member Companies agree to follow commonNet-Centric Patterns in developing solutions and services • Provide “Building Blocks” that conform to Net-Centric Patternsfor use in constructing Interoperable Systems • Goal is for Governments to use Net-Centric Patterns in Procurements V1.0-2009-10-26

  3. Pattern Categories • There are three categories of Patterns: • Operational: Describes standard practices and their interoperability requirements needed to conduct activities (military operations or business objectives) in a given mission context • Capability: Describes the standard methods and functions needed to support required activities in a mission context from an interoperability perspective as specified in Operational Pattern(s) • Technical: Describes the technical standards, technologies, and interoperability techniques needed to support required capabilities in a functional context specified in Capability Pattern(s) Each Category provides Guidance for different Needs(Mission-oriented, Function-oriented, and Technology-oriented) V1.0-2009-10-26

  4. Operational Patterns Analogy: Objective to Build a House “Open Standards” would be City Building Codes Interoperability with City systems for Electricity, Water, Natural Gas, Sewer, etc. “Practical Expert Guidance” would be “How-To” books from experienced contractors Requires Construction Capabilities, such as“Fasten Wood” Capability Pattern V1.0-2009-10-26

  5. Capability Patterns • Analogy: Capability to Fasten Wood for Constructing House Frames • “Open Standards” would be City Building Codes • “Practical Expert Guidance” would be “How-To” booksfrom experienced contractors • Supports many different construction missions, such as “Build A House” • Requires Technical Tools, such as “Hammer” Technical Pattern V1.0-2009-10-26

  6. Technical Patterns • Analogy: Technology would be “Hammer” • “Open Standards” would be standard types of Hammers • “Practical Expert Guidance” would be “How-To” booksfrom experienced contractors • Supports Capabilities such as “Fasten Wood” Capability Pattern V1.0-2009-10-26

  7. Characteristics ofNet-Centric Patterns Net-Centric Patterns are: Prescriptive guidelines for practical use by designers and implementers that can be tailored and re-used for solving interoperability problems Guidance for hardware, software, processes, and procedures Net-Centric Patterns are not: Theoretical or philosophical discussions of interoperability Rigid specifications for point design solutions Net-Centric Patterns provide Practical Expert Guidancebased on Open Standards Page 7 V1.0-2009-10-26

  8. Net-Centric PatternsMust be Practical & Concise NO! YES! Users of Net-Centric Patterns need practical and concise guidance on how to achieve interoperable solutions! V1.0-2009-10-26
