Abstract: To address the Navy need for dynamic data management facilitating quick access of analysts to dynamic data for timely analysis of threat information, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Adaptive Data Interface Generation (ADIG) system based on a flexible data access technology and data-driven automatic generation of GUI controls. The innovations in the Runtime Data Access Layer and Runtime User Interface Layer enable analysts to quickly access dynamic structured or unstructured data sources, tailoring them into an analysis and visualization environment with up-to-date decision support on threat information analysis in satellite communication systems. In addition, ADIG offers automatic generation and population of user interfaces for dynamic data manipulation and visualization with no downtime or code upgrade, which directly address the Navy requirement for timely and deeper analysis of threat information in fast-paced military and business environments. In Phase I, POC will demonstrate the feasibility of ADIG by developing its architecture in support of existing Navy COTS/GOTS technologies and will implement a proof-of-concept prototype for demonstration. In Phase II the ADIG prototype will be extended to support a representative environment consistent with the Four Layer Defense for SATCOM, and be demonstrated and evaluated based on metrics of interest.
Benefits: ADIG technology allows more rapid access to constantly evolving and emerging information sources, which is applicable in fast-paced military and business environments. Also, the ADIG system has significant commercial applications, including a new platform for development of desktop- and Web-based software applications unbreakable after restructuring static databases, and reducing software development cost because graphic user interface (GUI) development and maintenance in ADIG-based systems is 10 times less expensive. In addition, ADIG technology allows new types of software applications to be developed that are able to access any data source, and immediately see loaded data on an automatically generated GUI.
