The Air Force Research Laboratory's Sensors Directorate has crafted
a long-term layered sensing project and seeks a method to compare
different architectural representations. This research provides an
executable methodology for quantitative architecture comparisons
based on interoperability characters and measurements. The
methodology has two components and is demonstrated on an urban
operations mission thread scenario. The layered sensing scenario
requires sensor-equipped platforms to shift orbits while supporting
a mission (e.g. supply convoy) reacting to unplanned events (e.g.
improvised explosive device). The first component is a discrete
event simulation capturing relevant sensor, platform, and mission
operations and providing measures of effectiveness (MOEs) and
measures of performance(MOPs). The second component is an
application of a general purpose interoperability measurement
technique applied to a scenario demonstrating collaborative
interoperability. The results from experimental component
comparisons show that changes in interoperability measurements do
not always reflect the magnitude of changes in mission
effectiveness or system performance. For net-centric applications,
changes in the number of process paths may be a better indicator
for the degree of interoperability present in a given architecture.
