Call for Participation

September 21-22, 2004

The AFC2ISR Center, AF CIO, and The MITRE Corporation invite you and your staff to participate in a conference on the use of XML in environments where binary information exchange protocols are typically employed. The conference is sponsored in collaboration with the AF/XI and ESC/NI3. Invitees include the U.S. Unified Commands, Military Services and Defense Agencies, international organizations and industry.

The conference objective is to investigate the use of XML technology to facilitate realization of the DoD Global Information Grid (GIG) as it applies to information exchanges conducted in tactical and bandwidth constrained environments. This conference explores developments in technologies which will permit the DoD to combine the advantages of XML with the efficiency of binary-format information exchange.

The conference will be held at The MITRE Corporation, Langley Site facility, in Hampton, Virginia on September 21-22, 2004.

The meeting will focus on the use of XML technology in the following subject areas:

  • Airborne Networking
    • Employment of XML in real-time, mobile, and limited bandwidth IPv6 networks,
    • Concepts of operations and associated enterprise services necessary to support the tactical environment,
  • GIG Integration
    • Capabilities needed to achieve seamless integration of fixed and mobile networks,
    • Fast web services,
    • XML compression and/or efficient encoding strategies,
    • XML/binary gateways,
    • XML configurable messaging interfaces and gateways,
    • Pervasive machine to machine communication,
  • XML Messaging Standards
    • Configuration management,
    • Convergence of standards independent of networking constraints.

For each of these areas the questions to be answered are:

  • Requirements
  • Opportunities
  • Consequences for existing Information Exchange Requirements (IERs)
  • Technology Investment
  • Migration Path (options)

We invite you to participate and to share your thoughts with others as well as to learn from the experience of others. Please submit presentation abstracts by June 7, 2004. The final conference agenda will be published by August 15, 2004.
