Through collaboration with sponsors, the project has used
abstract models as a basis for creating concrete models through domain
engineering and is applying these models in the creation of
applications. These sponsors include:
- Army Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM) - creation of a
domain model of Army movement control, a tactical decision aid
supporting command and control.
- National Institute of Standards and Technology - applying the FODA
method for developing a model of network management systems software.
- Joint Modeling and Simulation System (JMASS) - applying OCU model for
design of friendly and threat models.
- Ballistic Missile Defense Office - using abstract models as a means of
evaluating the BMDO Information Architecture and its ability to
support system defintion of Battle Management Command Control and
Communications (BM/C3) applications.
- Navy - creating concrete models to support the development of weapon
system trainers.
- MICOM - creating concrete models to support development of
electro-optical fire control systems. This work is being done with
our Texas Instruments resident affiliate.
The project also seeks to work directly with industry to support their
ability to establish a core competence in software modeling. We have
several contacts in the early stages of transition.
