An approach of designing and developing human view of C4ISR architecture

摘要

The fighting force of military information system architecture heavily depends on people, systems and the efficient combination between them. Expressly, human factors play a momentous role but have not been well addressed. An architectural viewpoint is required to explicitly represent the human. Through the analysis of the typical human views (HV) in MODAF, NATO, Canada and Australian, the characteristics and shortcomings of the current research about HV are summarized. Based on the multiple points of view methodology, finally, the idea of putting forward a human view has emerged. The purpose of HV is to explicitly define what HV is, capture what it manages to solve and inform how human interact with technological systems to accomplish the operational objectives. This paper defines the connotation of human view, a collection of view products and developing sequence which form a complete description framework.
