Universal Monitoring Platform for Interactive Real-time Expansive Networks (UMPIRE)

Peerless Technologies Corporation and team members Clear Creek Applied Technologies (CCAT) and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) propose our exclusive uniform, yet extensible, virtual platform, namely universal monitoring platform for interactive real-time expansive networks (UMPIRE) to enable Department of Defense (DoD) to monitor the health of distributed simulation networks (e.g. global information grid [GIG]) that include live, virtual and constructive components (LVC). Our team designed and developed a methodology and test plan for handling the real-time monitoring of networked LVC components in a geographically distributed secure simulation environment and a proof-of-feasibility demonstration of key enabling concepts. Based on cutting-edge technologies available, our team envisions the provision of indispensable support to any current or future national security related endeavors partaken by the DoD. Considered as immediate aspirations for this effort, Research and development concentrated on novel mechanisms, methodologies, and advanced collaboration technology to monitor the health of distributed simulation networks.
