Abstract
Service-Oriented Visualization Using C/JMTK Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Chetan Desai, Jeremy Loomis This paper describes the Service-Oriented Visualization Framework (SOVF) research project, which demonstrates use of C/JMTK in the DoD's emerging netcentric environment. This work includes an overall methodology (design patterns for geospatial visualization in an SOA) as well as framework software based on C/JMTK. Data from C2 Web services (TBMCS, GMTI, JMBL, CRD) is adapted to a GIS profile, cached in an enterprise geodatabase and surfaced as ArcIMS data services. The architecture follows a service-oriented paradigm with service discovery provided by UDDI, content discovery provided by an ArcIMS metadata service, and additional mediation services (e.g., stylization) supporting the visualization pipeline. End user access and visualization are provided through two custom clients: a "rich" client based on the ArcIMS Java Viewer and a "thick" client providing an SOVF toolbar in ArcMap or ArcGlobe. The paper discusses the SOVF architecture, the use of C/JMTK components, and lessons learned applicable to netcentric environments.
