Naval Air Warfare Center Awarded First Prize In InterSystems 2005 CACHE Innovator Awards.CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- InterSystems Corporation today announced that the Naval Air Warfare Center The Naval Air Warfare Center was a former U.S. Navy military installation located in Warminster, Pennsylvania and Ivyland, Pennsylvania. The U.S. Navy purchased the grounds to establish this facility from the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation following its bankruptcy in the Aircraft Division (NAWCAD NAWCAD Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division ) won top honors in the 2005 CACHE Innovator Awards competition. The award was presented to George Hurlburt and Joseph Jameson at the sixth annual Innovator Awards event, held at InterSystems' DEVCON 2005 conference in Palm Springs, Calif. InterSystems develops and markets the CACHE post-relational database and Ensemble universal integration platform A universal integration platform is a development- and/or configuration-time analog of a universal server. The emphasis on the term: "platform" implies a middleware environment from which integration oriented solutions are derived. worldwide. Hurlburt is Manager, Joint Interoperability for Systems Technology, Test and Training (JIST JIST Juneau Information Service Technology JIST Joint Imagery Soft-copy Trainer JIST JSF Integrated Subsystems Technology JIST Joint Interagency Support Team JIST Maybe you're looking for the word 'Gist' meaning the central idea? 3). Jameson is a System Developer for Diverse Technologies Corporation, a high technology professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. firm. The first place Innovator Award recognized the Information Management Department (IMD IMD - intermodulation distortion ) of NAWCAD for a CACHE-based application that permits generation of dynamic warfighting scenarios to build Global Information Grid The globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, associated processes and personnel for collecting,processing, storing, disseminating and managing information on demand to warfighters, policy makers, and support personnel. architectures. This capability is known as the Warfighting Architecture Requirements (WAR) tool. The WAR development effort was supported by the Naval Air Systems Command The Naval Air Systems Command, or NAVAIR, is the part of the United States Navy which provides materiel support for naval aircraft and airborne weapon systems, such as guided missiles. NAVAIR was established in 1966 as the successor to the Navy's Bureau of Naval Weapons (BuWeps). and the National Institute for Systems Test and Productivity. "We fully leveraged CACHE object capabilities to achieve application benchmark performance on average ten times that of conventional large-scale relational DBMS See relational database and DBMS. relational DBMS - relational database benchmark sets," Hurlburt said. "The CACHE object technology enables simultaneous reconciliation of various viewpoints ranging from acquisition, to warfighting to capability orientations and more," he continued. Carl Olofson, Program Director for IDC, a leading global intelligence and market advisory firm for the IT and telecom industries, independently reviewed the award submissions and named the winners. "It's always a privilege and always a challenge to identify the best of the best among the developers in this competition," he said. "It's exciting to see the innovative thinking that goes into the CACHE-based applications submitted for the Innovator's Award each year," said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. . "The creativity and advanced technology approach that underlie the WAR application exemplify the high level of innovation that we're privileged to witness each year." A comprehensive review of the Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DODAF) inspired the WAR system design, according to Hurlburt. Requirements included the ability to encompass and characterize a full spectrum of related warfighting resources, the ability to effectively relate warfighting resources to tasks and the ability to correlate DODAF operational and systems views. The WAR tool incorporates Web, object and scalar vector graphics to drive architectures through applied data and is currently being documented for a government-sponsored patent.
