Business Process Transformation Tool for Rapid Reconfiguration of Navy Systems

The innovative solutions contained in this Imagine One proposal will provide the Navy with the capability to dynamically reconfigure systems, and create FORCEnet Engagement Packs (FNEP). Our solution will include a set of Automated Battle Management Aids (ABMA) which will automatically generate new system configurations, mission threads and engagement packages. However, the system will also support manual creation of new system configurations and FNEPs. Our dynamic systems reconfiguration solution is to apply intelligent agents as interfaces to legacy systems coupled with the ability of the agents to subscribe to web services or publish data from the legacy systems. Once a mission thread or business process is created by a human or by the ABMA, it can be transmitted to the agents to configure an arbitrary system on the fly. As each step of the process is completed the next agent in sequence will be activated by agent peer to peer communications. FNEPs can be formed manually or under the auspices of an ABMA. Asset assignment will be at the mission or mission process activity levels. ABMA asset selection will be supported by a parameterized platform knowledge base.
