New Approaches C4I Data Warehousing for Crisis Action - Synchronization, Replication, Sustainment Design Implications

摘要

C4IFTW (Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence For the Warrior) automated information systems (AIS) provide the planning and executing of military operations requiring mobilization, deployment, employment, sustainment, reconstitution, redeployment, and demobilization of U.S. Armed Forces. At the heart of C4IFTW AISs are highly distributed replicated decision support databases. These systems are often characterized as like a Walmart's data warehouse that goes to war, as the sensitivities to the decision support recognition of need- for-action and timeliness of decisions are acute and similar in approach.
