IntroductionThese are the proceedings of the nineteenth Open Architecture/Open Business Model Net-centric Systems and Defense Transformation conference. The papers presented at the conference strongly reflected the inexorable trend towards Open Architecture/Open Business Model acquisition patterns to provide the government Better Buying Power (BBP). The conference included the following joint sessions:
The conference included a special session on RF-FPGA technology hosted and chaired by Dr. William Chappell of DARPA. The conference also included invited papers by Mr. Robert Bond (MIT Lincoln Laboratory), Ms. Betsy DeLong (ONR), Ms. Christiane Duarte (NUWC), and Dr. James Lyke (AFRL). Looking ahead, we expect Net-centric systems to increasingly focus on Open Architectures (OA) and Open Business Models (OBM). Such OA/OBM systems seek to mimic the successful PC industry and hold the promise to dramatically reduce the acquisition and life cycle costs of military systems, and tremendously accelerate the rate of technology refresh in military systems. It is gratifying to see the high level of audience interest in this conference. Particularly gratifying is the fact that this conference has resulted in the “spin-off” of several new conferences at SPIE Defense + Security. My sincere thanks to the distinguished invited speakers, authors, attendees, and my associates on the program committee for another successful conference. Raja Suresh |
