8. Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium
 Mission
 Our mission is to facilitate global realization of the benefit inherent in
Network Centric Operations. To that end, we seek to enable continuously
increasing levels of interoperability across the spectrum of joint,
interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational industrial and
commercial operations. We will execute this mission in good faith as a
global organization with membership open to all enterprises in quest of
applying the vast potential of network centric technology to the operational
challenges faced by our nations and their citizens.
 Past successes
◦ Network Centric Analysis Tool (NCAT)
◦ NCOIC Interoperability Framework (NIF)
 Future
◦ Develop “operational art” in support of netcentric operations
◦ Support operational art advances through collaboration (Government,
Industry, Non-profits, Interest Groups)
◦ Provide value to members
 Use of NCOIC developed process provided differentiator in recent
European procurement for a member company
 NCOIC Patterns addressing interoperability concerns of member
government agencies

9. Cloud Computing Interoperability
 Government needs cloud interoperability to ensure
cloud portability and operational robustness
◦ Reduce risk
◦ Improve availability
◦ Enhance operational value
◦ Enable effective management)
 Standardization and interoperability will reduce the
overall cost of leveraging cloud computing
technology
 Government can provide requirements and
preferences to industry
 Government cannot and should not dictate an
interoperability standard

10. Cloud Computing Operational Art
 Embrace collaboration
• OSD – tactical Cloud Computing
• TIGR – Government Cloud Computing
• Cloud Interoperability Forum
 Use Operational and Capability pattern process to develop Cloud
Computing Technical Patterns
 Identify key netcentric operations interoperability requirements and
preferences within identified technical patterns
 Iterate with NCOIC stakeholder companies and government
organizations
 Use Capability and Operational patterns to validate operational
impact of reduced cloud interoperability
 Leverage analysis to drive cloud interoperability recommendations
and best practices
