Perpetual Enterprise Management Service (PEMS) for Next Generation SOA- based Command & Control Systems

摘要

United States Department of Defense (DoD) Services and Agencies are building and deploying Next Generation Command & Control (NGC2) systems that are based on highly distributed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications. These new systems do not have end-to-end monitoring and reporting capabilities to establish realistic Service Level Objectives (SLO) and Agreements (SLA) that are needed to support this concept. As SOA and Web technologies proliferate, a service is required that collects and correlates business logic, platform, and network component metrics for problem analysis, resolution, and SLA establishment. Traditionally Combatant Commands have relied on disparate software, system, and network engineers to pinpoint and resolve operational problems in fielded Command & Control (C2) systems. As these traditional client/server systems are upgraded to SOA-based applications, the highly distributed nature of this new Net-Centric Warfare (NCW) capability will require the three functions to merge into one. A Perpetual Enterprise Management Service (PEMS) is needed that enables the new function to effectively manage the emerging complexity that SOA-based C2 software will bring under new programs including Joint Command and Control (JC2) and Net- Centric Enterprise Services (NCES).
