Automatic middleware and resilient information systems

Authors: Alex Healing, Hakan Duman and Robert Ghanea-Hercock

The problem facing both the security and defence communities is the volume, complexity and timeliness of information. In particular the ability to locate and access the right information at the right time is crucial to achieving real-time responsiveness and situational awareness. The Nexus system is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) agent-based middleware that creates a fully distributed and highly resilient Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The combination of a structured P2P overlay network and autonomous service discovery delivers a powerful capability to support network-centric command and control; reducing the need for staff dedicated to data transfer and training costs for end users, as well as being able to offer a new degree of accuracy and timeliness for information provision.
