Dynamic and integrative features of the MOVIE environment are optimally
suited for modelling and prototyping various aspects and components of
the new generation of C
I systems. The new objectives in this area are
to cope efficiently with potentially smaller but more diversified and less
predictable threats, and to operate in a robust, adaptive fashion in the
dynamic heterogeneous distributed environment. Dynamic topology of the MOVIE
network, supporting adaptive routing schemes to recover from network damages
is useful for such C
I functions as information transmission
and battle management. High-quality dynamic visualization services of
the MOVIE model, evolving towards hypermedia navigation and virtual reality
are suitable for such C
I functions as planning and
evaluation. Finally, the integrative high-level language model of
MovieScript, supporting both the data parallel and irregular
object-oriented computing, is adequate for such C
I functions as
fusion and detection.
MOVIE is planned as one of the candidate software models for the C
I
simulation, modelling and prototyping, to be evaluated within the new
cooperative on parallel software engineering industrial CRDA
(Cooperative Research and Development Agreement), starting in summer
1992 and coordinated by Rome Laboratory.
