Managed Information Delivery to Multiple Devices

We propose an innovative approach to meet the Air Force’s objective of seamlessly delivering information and alerts to the warfighter that accommodates multiple devices, connections, formats, and protocols. In particular, we propose to develop a system that can securely deliver and manage critical information flow to multiple devices utilizing different connections and protocols. We will demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by building a proof-of-principle publish and subscribe system utilizing a commercial agent-based messaging platform called AgentLogic as its foundation. VSTI will extend the core capabilities of the messaging platform and integrate FIPA-based ontologies and standards to provide a system that is extensible, secure, easily managed, and domain independent. The resulting system will be able to process data from multiple current and legacy systems, both push and pull information and alerts to users, and automatically modify this information to accommodate device limitations.
