Abstract

The Knowledge-based Design for Adaptive Connectivity (XDAC) is an executable architecture to achieve communications automation (CA) for end-to-end USA Navy tactical networks. CA for Naval communications is defined as the automation of the management, monitoring, configuration and control of communications assets to achieve optimal end-to-end connectivity with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for Navy applications based upon mission requirements. CA supports the reduction of manpower required to operate and maintain C4ISR assets, decreases the complexity of new communications technologies, and supports warfighter requirements for dynamically configurable communications. KDAC is implemented via an object-oriented design specified in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a standardization of a unified notation for modeling of architectures that can be used in all phases of architecture development. KDAC implements both the systems and technical architectures
