3. What Well Cover Reality 2003 Devices fuel the swarm model Architecture for 2003 and beyond Opportunity / challenge

4. Reality One: Network Ecosystem Source: Internet Mapping Project (Bill Cheswick [Bell Labs], Hal Burch [CMU]) http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/ches/map/index.htmlhttp://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/ches/map/index.html and http://dsl.cs.uchicago.edu/Courses/cs347-2002/

5. Reality Two: Risk

6. Reality Three... Tools

7. Work for 20 Somethings

8. Reality Four: New Models

9. Reality Five:

10. Shifting Gears... So what... defense information... military-civilian information... access... communications across boundaries?

11. Pressure Points and the Mission

12. Continuous Pressure

13. Clinger Cohen 1996 Architecture Cost-Benefit Analysis Investment Review Management Process/Program Performance Measures Planning Program Review Work Process Review Source: http://irm.cit.nih.gov/policy/legislation.html

14. Simultaneously... Swarm communications and information flows become the norm...

15. The Devices... Civilian

16. Military...

18. Mobile IP with Seamless Roaming

19. Fixed Network infrastructure Fixed Network infrastructure WLAN Non-Secure, Unauthorized Instant Messaging Colleague / Operative at Internet Café IP zone GPRS zone Non-Secure, Unauthorized Instant Messaging Public and Global Network infrastructure 2 In the car I participate in a conference and review full text documents with my colleagues in my automobile.

20. Mobile IP with Seamless Roaming Fixed Network infrastructure Fixed Network infrastructure WLAN Non-Secure, Unauthorized Instant Messaging Colleague / Operative at Internet Café IP zone GPRS zone Non-Secure, Unauthorized Instant Messaging Public and Global Network infrastructure 3 Partner Site In my meeting, I use my hybrid device to show my presentation and transfer a full text document to my clients computer sysetm.

21. Whats the Magic?

22. 3 OFFLINE In-flight browsing DBE (FULL) Continued offline browsing Perform transactions while offline (e.g. book tickets and hotel) Offline email session - PIM is synchronized Online / Offline Browsing for Missions 4 Synchronize transactions DBE (EMPTY) IP zone – IP access – e.g. Sync PIM Nomadic Portal – Local content – confirm ticket Mobile Database – Device is automatically loaded with all infomation about London Terminal: A PDA/Smartphone with web browser, GSM and Bluetooth I must synchronize my mail and calendar (PIM) I will confirm my mission I want all information about my destination 2 Public IP Zone at the airport 1 I am going to London

23. Secure Net- work Operator IP backbone Application server Web servers Load bal Backend ISP/Telecom public server infrastructure Internet Contractor VPNs Commercial Databases Java2EE ODBC JDBC SQL POTS, ISDN etc. GSM, GPRS,EDGE Mobile networks UMTS WCDMA/ Hiperlan2 IP zone WLAN/Bluetooth Access points Home Wireless Access WLAN/Bluetooth ADSL, CATV, etc. Set-top terminals Smartphones Communicator platforms Things that Think / Decoy consoles Swarm Devices Wireless PDAs Laptops Web pads for home use DB Engine IP zone software Intelligent Mobile IP Data Synchronization

24. Collaboration Handheld devices Australian urban equipment

25. Difficult... Different Information Needs

26. Needed... ADE

27. Shared Services Argument Pool resources and buy a better solution Canada says overall savings are about 30 percent Technical environment allows distributed computing Outsource and have a few key people doing more via shared services

28. Conversion of Paper Documents to Digital Form Automated Extraction of Data Elements From Text and Images Standardizing and Converting Data Formats Processing Images, Video, Audio, Signal Data Automated Foreign Language Translation Open LiteratureNon-Text Data Restricted Information Detection of Alert Situations Clustering and Linking of Related Data Statistical Analysis to Reveal Anomalies Detection of Changing Trends Interactive Search and Retrieval of Data Graphic and Map- Based Visualization of Data Modeling and Simulations Collaborative Work Notetaking and Organizing Ideas Structured Argument Analysis Personal Publishing and Word Processing Production of Graphics, Videos Online Briefings Revision Tracking and Real-Time Collaboration Humans Needed: Finished Intelligence and Reporting (R. Steele, 2002) Tier 3 Tier 2 Tier 3

29. Snap Together… Reusable Lego blocks can be used to build different things by snapping the standardized pieces together… Standardized pieces that snap together…

30. The Plug In Model Other Transaction Services Benefit Reports Case Management Benefit Reports

31. Proprietary SolutionsWeb Services Significant system changes are difficult Loosely-coupled, standards- based format and protocol Architectural changes require unrelated components to change Coarse-grained, service-oriented request/reply paradigm hides implementation Long development cycle due to poor component reuse Loosely-coupled, component- ized services are reusable and dynamically reconfigurable Lost time spent on proprietary APIs Vendor-neutral standardization of format and protocol High maintenance and integration costs Loosely-coupled, standards- based format and protocol

32. For Information Professionals... A different information mode... real- time... text, images, and video... automated systems... push data where it is likely to be needed... pull data when data are required...

34. This Becomes...

35. And This?

36. Swarm: Network Communications

37. New Views of Digital Information

38. Term

39. Context

40. Glimpse

41. Autogenerate Device View Highlight

42. Wrap Up Opportunity

43. OPG VPN Continuous Reviews Expert Fora Distance Learning Virtual Libraries Shared Calendars Shared Services Budget Shared Data Pools Shared Address Books Collaborative Swarm Networks (R. Steele, 2002)

44. Buzzwords and Consultants The browser model Distributed computing Standards (SOAP, XML, UDDI, WSDL) IBM + PriceWaterhouseCoopers = $ Deficits / economic downturn Like the Web but better and cheaper Reduce vendor lock in

45. The Design

46. Users Are a Different Story

47. Challenges Moving from highly fragmented systems to a common foundation Public agencies and secret information Privacy Security Silos

48. Roadmap Needed…
