A hybrid modeling method for service-oriented C4ISR requirements analysis

Abstract

With the rapid growth of complexity as well as the continuously innovational concept of network-centric warfare, it is difficult to analyze and design C4ISR systems based on the existing component technology or the object-oriented technology. However, both the workflow method and the AI planning method for service modeling are not very suitable for analysis and design service-oriented C4ISR requirements. This paper imports Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) design paradigm to C4ISR requirements analysis, and proposes a hybrid modeling method based on multi-ontologies. Accompanied with an instance, the method provides a new, flexible, reusable solution for C4ISR requirements evolution and system reconstruction. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
