Intensive Knowledge Discovery from Heterogeneous Distributed Data and Knowledge

摘要

An infrastructure to extend the Joint Battlespace Infosphere. (JBI) Publish and Subscribe paradigm is described. The design emphasizes the client side of the JBI architecture where the users' computing device can vary substantially in bandwidth, processing capability, screen size, and connection type. Today's Internet user can connect with the net at any time using a wide variety of devices. Our emphasis is on designing a JBI extended infrastructure that will intelligently support the efficient rapid access and dissemination of distributed knowledge base repositories to a client independent of computing device or connection. Hand-held computing devices are depicted as innovative devices for interacting with massive amounts of data and knowledge. Our goal is to design and develop an infrastructure that will efficiently and rapidly provide data, knowledge and information to a dynamic user. A hypothetical JBI architecture is described with an e-mail publish and subscribe paradigm. A Air Mobility Command scenario is described involving 3-D images, digital terrain files, and virtual reality rendering software. A computer architecture is presented along with sample code illustrating how World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) technologies (e.g., XML, XSL) can be used to meet JBI's needs.
