Command and Control Experimentation Assessment Support Environment (C2EASE)

The Phase I research effort proved the feasibility of applying the K2 development environment to an expert knowledge process. This powerful development tool set can be applied to a wide range of significantly challenging knowledge processes. Phase IIwill further this research by integrating the Combined Aerospace Operations Center (CAOC) tools at AFRL within an overarching knowledge management environment called the Command and Control Expermentation Assessment Support Environment (C2EASE). Thisenvironment will support programmable intelligent agents assigned to discover and report system configuration information within each of the CAOC entities. Additionally, this information will be used during problem reporting and enhancement suggestionreporting by the operational user. Information flows will be transparent to the end users and driven by automated workflow management. This Phase II research will provide both strategies and technologies to accomplish Real Time Knowledge Management,Information Integration, and Dynamic Collaboration resulting in a greater sense of enterprise awareness and facilitate management of the CAOC as a weapon system.
