C2D2: A COMMAND AND CONTROL DOMAIN-DIRECTED REUSE LIBRARY SYSTEM

THIS PHASE I SBIR PROPOSES AN INNOVATIVE, DOMAIN-DIRECTED SOFTWARE REUSE PROCESS SUPPORTED BY AN AUTOMATED DOMAIN-SPECIFIC COMPONENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM--C2D2, A COMMAND AND CONTROL, DOMAIN-DIRECTED REUSE LIBRARY SYSTEM. C2D2 WILL PROVIDE COMMAND AND CONTROL SOFTWARE ENGINEERS THE SAME BENEFITS THAT HARDWARE ENGINEERS HAVE TODAY--A ROBUST SET OF USABLE COMPONENTS AND AUTOMATED SUPPORT FOR IDENTIFYING,SELECTING AND SYNTHESIZING THESE COMPONENTS. THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING: COMMAND AND CONTROL (C2) DOMAIN STUDY; DOMAIN-DIRECTED REUSE PROCESS MODEL AND OPERATIONAL CONCEPT; C2D2 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION. C2D2 WILL PROVIDE THE ENGINEER WITH A USERFRIENDLY GRAPHIC INTERFACE FOR NAVIGATING AND SEARCHING C2 DOMAIN TAXONOMIES, DOMAIN MODELS, GENERIC ARCHITECTURES AND OTHER REPRESENTATIONS. THE DOMAIN-SPECIFIC USER INTERFACE, USING MODELS AND ARCHITECTURES, WILL ENCOURAGE EARLY, LARGE-SCALE REUSE, THEREBY MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF REUSE. C2D2 WOULD BE POPULATED WITH C2 DOMAIN ANALYSIS WORK PRODUCTS AND COMPONENTS.
