The US Army's vision of its future communications architecture is the Warfighter Information Network (WIN) and Battlefield Information Transmission System (BITS). WIN and BITS represent a fundamental change in the Army's view of its communication architecture: from voice dominated to information/data dominated. With the advent of these information dominated services, 21st century commanders will want to deploy automated decision aids that maximize their advantage in a conflict. To realize this capability, the commanders need customized services that are automatically derived from the existing battlefield automation systems (BAS) and non-BAS servers. We propose to provide these new customized and automated decision enabling services (intelligent decision aids (IDA)) by employing a new service and network control concept/architecture. Our architectural concept is based on separating the service control functions (processes for decision making, etc.) from basic resources provided by the existing network (mobile subscriber equipment (MSE), combat net radios, etc.), information servers and multimedia servers. These separate service control functions will be distributed between intermediate service control nodes (SCNs) attached to the network and service clients resident in commanders' multimedia terminals. The SCN acts as a network-based intelligent agent (IA) that has access to existing network resources and information servers and performs customized service control functions on behalf of the user to derive customized services for the user. The SCN is a new network element located between existing information servers and commanders' multimedia terminals. This architecture enables a commander to obtain timely battlefield information tailored to his needs. This innovative approach will reduce the data traffic by concentrating and fusing traffic from multiple servers within the network, and distributing the fused data to the multimedia terminals.

Last year over a hundred Fortune 1000 companies were polled about their experiences deploying Client/Server [C/S] applications. 'Sixty percent of the interviewees described systems and network management as a house of pain for their organizations.' [FCS94] This paper describes a strategic direction to alleviate the 'pain' of integrating individual management solutions by establishing a framework for distributed Systems Management into the architecture of business-critical C/S applications and their underlying infrastructure.

The goals of Project CITY (Civil Infostructure technology) are to provide a technology demonstration of information infrastructure for civil infrastructure management and to demonstrate the Team Engineering Analysis and Modeling (TEAM) methodology in the analysis, design, and evaluation of that information infrastructure. The community of practice of Project CITY is the Public Works Division at a major Army installation. This paper focuses on three concurrent aspects of the project: 1) Task analyses and knowledge requirements of the community;2) Systematic surveys of the community with respect to inter-dependence, workflow, coordination, and technology use;and 3) Candidate technologies for coordination and information sharing in distributed systems (e.g., SWIFT, ACE, and ISAM).

This paper first introduces the project of intelligent manufacturing in China and the research state of the IIMRC (intelligent and Integrated Manufacturing Research Centre) of HUst (Huazhong University of Science and technology), then reviews the recent advances in object-oriented and distributed artificial intelligence and puts forth the view that these advances open up the prospect of systems that will enable the true integration of enterprises. In an attempt to identify domain requirements and match them with research achievements, the paper examines the current literature and distinguishes 14 features that are common. It argues that effective enterprise-wide support could be greatly facilitated by the existence of intelligent software entities with autonomous processing capabilities, that possess coordination and negotiation facilities and are organized in distributed hierarchical states.

This paper explores the performance metrics generated by the intelligent components of today's distributedcomputing environment. Data sources, collection techniques, and the metrics themselves are discussed. These metrics drive the real time monitors and serve as input to analysis of performance trends and capacity plans. The paper does not get into great depth on analysis of the metrics. Instead, it concentrates on mechanics by serving as a tutorial on how to go about collecting the data, and what you can expect it to look like when it arrives. Specifically, it covers metrics available from LAN servers and SNMP-capable devices such as routers, bridges, and concentrators. Examples are taken from Sun Microsystems's SunNet Manager and Microsoft's Windows/NT Advanced server.

Visual prosthesis for the retinally blind is an area of research which is seeing some advances and progress in this decade. Advances in the areas of image processing, neuro-morphology of vision, microelectronic engineering and high speed computing has contributed to significant progress in this area. Research using specific patterns of electrical stimulation may enable physicians to restore sight to the blind. Other disciplines provide examples of how electrical stimulation can solve other problems for example the cochlear implants stimulate spinal ganglion cells of the auditory nerves. On the one hand issues of signal and image processing in the biological system are not yet fully understood while on the other hand there is the implant problem which needs to be addressed. In this paper an attempt has been made to point out the various difficulties, unsolved problems and propose solutions to some of them. A prototype of the artificial retina is described. Work under progress in the 'Signal Processing and intelligent Systems Research Laboratory, Faculty of Science and technology, Griffith University' is described.
