Net-Centric Enterprise Solutions for Interoperability, Department of the NavyNet-Centric Enterprise Solutions for Interoperability, Department of the NavyNESI_b9b64ffd-e65f-48b1-82ed-dfc9812a31d7The vision for NESI is that it will be the definitive source of net-centric implementation guidance for the DoD. The knowledge expressed in NESI will be accurate, current, accessible, cover all pertinent technical areas, and be easy to maintain. In addition, NESI will provide flexible tools for using this knowledge to achieve shared objectives across diverse organizations._bbcdf746-cb27-4852-89dd-03f15974354aTo support government and industry system and software engineers who are developing net-centric solutions as well as their associated program managers_883e04f5-bdab-4f0a-a412-4f750d1d5f23Net-CentricityPromote realization of the net-centric aspects of the GIG architecture, per the DoD Global Information (GIG) Architecture [R1170], through the evolution of legacy systems and the development of new systems that comply with DoD net-centric direction. _a6309af9-d4f8-4910-a508-2866bc070cbb1Data DefinitionsDefine related terms and concepts_156246a3-edb1-44ee-ba55-74e0c254d20c1.1Architectural and Engineering KnowledgeIdentify specific architectural and engineering knowledge at multiple levels of abstraction_e5801c10-4bd4-48a0-ac61-4fcdb62e85d51.2Identify succinct, atomic, actionable guidance Define the context for the guidance Identify, define, and develop examples Identify appropriate reference material Knowledge VettingVet this knowledge across pertinent communities_1508e99a-975e-4d37-9c06-ac9e398f0edb1.3Knowledge ToolsIdentify tools to store, tag, sort, filter, and distribute this knowledge_4f8185c9-08bf-469f-a1b3-1399c88c01461.4Knowledge MaintenanceMaintain this knowledge _1a4999f0-908a-409c-8782-e2f58b8de4eb1.5Evolve as the concept of net-centricity evolves. Remain current with changes in DoD net-centric directives, mandates, and instructions.Component-Based N-Tier FrameworkPromote the consistent application of a sound technical approach to net-centricity based on a component-based N-tier framework for application development. _fd88e462-4bf6-4e86-beb0-d6a0afd720832(Note: this framework may be implemented in many different ways; e.g., with different infrastructure distribution strategies). Software Component ReusePromote the reuse of software components so that they can be composed easily into new mission capabilities with minimal development effort. _fc22403c-9c74-4513-983b-18c499c36ef43NESI establishes a technical basis that allows developers to leverage reuse opportunities. _59cc2ea8-4c3c-43c1-80e9-28909bc831423.1Enterprise Integration and InteroperabilityPromote enterprise integration and interoperability through the reuse of enterprise design patterns, well-defined public service interfaces, and loosely coupled components. _994e7c89-4d70-4a8e-ab9f-0c827230cc654These are key elements to meet the criteria in the Net-Centric Operations and Warfare Reference Model (NCOW RM).InfrastructureProvide a model for the distribution of infrastructure elements in which Enterprise Services are provided and managed across the enterprise by the NCES program and individual programs share infrastructure resources in a Node-based approach._3b960128-3166-4ba6-b2a6-b2b99e03582952010-02-08http://nesipublic.spawar.navy.mil/nesix/Frames/P1286ArthurColman (www.drybridge.com)colman@drybridge.com
