31. DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 31 Jini - a technology zUser abstraction –data source, –location on network.. zAllows services to register dynamically.. zMinimises system administrator overheads.

32. DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 32 Research Objectives zInvestigate distributed architecture within JFAC & Strategy Cell. zDetermine merits of a distributed CAOC. zShape focus of joint operations. zIntegrate (legacy) systems.

33. DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 33 Benefits zHCI –Combat Assessments available at touch of a button. –Provide timely feedback. –Reduce decision making cycle. –Allow more time to formulate responses/ solutions. zArchitecture –Distributed JFACC/CAOC Smaller footprint in theatre, Increase survivability.
