Abstract

There are technological, operational and environmental constraints at tactical edge, which are disconnected operation, intermittent connectivity, and limited bandwidth (DIL), size, weight and power (SWaP) limitations, ad-hoc and mobile network, and so on. To overcome these limitations and constraints, we use service-oriented architecture (SOA) based technologies. Moreover, the operation environment is highly dynamic: requirements change in response to the emerging situation, and the availability of resources needs to be updated constantly due to the factors such as technical failures. In order to use appropriate resources at the right time according to the mission, it needs to find the best resources. In this context, we identify ontology-based mission service model including mission, task, service, and resource, and develop capability-based matching in tactical edge environment. The goal of this paper is to propose a capability-based semantic matching for dynamic resource allocation. The contributions of this paper are i) military domain ontologies ii) semantic matching using ontology relationship; and (iii) the capability-based matching for the mission service model.

다양한 무기체계가 활용되고 있는 전장공간은 자원이 제약되고 가변성이 높은 특징을 가진다. 이러한 전장환경에서 운용되는 각 자원들간의 접근성과 통합성의 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안 중의 하나가 서비스 지향 구조 기반의 기술이다. 임무 수행을 위해 필요한 각 서비스들은 기술된 전장에 배치된 자원과 적절한 형태로 군 임무 환경에서 활용되는 탐지/타격 무기체계를 포함하는 자원을 임무 수행 시에 임무 요구사항에 따라 적시에 적절하게 배치하여 사용하기 위해서 자원을 최적의 자원을 찾는 기술이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 임무 달성에 필요한 요구사항과 자원의 제공능력을 온톨로지 기반으로 모델링하여 능력기반 시맨틱 매칭 방법과 적용 결과를 통해 그 실효성을 보이고자 한다.
