ABSTRACT
This paper presents results of a research project aimed at introducing an Instant Messaging (IM) tool across a simulated Coalition/US Only security boundary. A prototype, the Open Source Instant Messaging (OSIM) system, based on previous work in fielding collaborative systems in Air Operation Centers (AOC), was developed and fielded for the Advanced Process and Technology eXperiment (APTX). This paper will detail the motivation for creating this system, the ensuing architecture, and results from the APTX experiment. Additionally, revision requests will be examined to detail future capabilities of OSIM.
