Infrastructure Operations Tool Access (IOTA)

摘要

The purpose of Infrastructure Operations Tools Access (IOTA) effort is to accomplish development of an advanced architecture for ISR information management. The architecture will be based on a software component framework for information dissemination. The component framework will be based on Web Services standards and include provisions for enterprise workflow management. The component framework will leverage commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) applications to provide mechanisms for data discovery, dissemination and visualization that can be rapidly adapted to varying information requirements. In particular, Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), will be used to provide a platform-independent set of standards and tools for developing the component framework. Broadsword Gatekeeper, a GOTS application, will also be used to define middleware capabilities for data access and discovery.
