SMOFN Execution

Flowchart represents a moment in time
Decision logic executes entirely for one time step
Time steps forward, logic repeats, accounts for

changes in job states

SLIDE 13

What SMOFN Accounts For

Data-driven simulation:

– Uses files to build customized job workflows and configure any combination of nodes without affecting the business logic.

Accounts for the following overhead activities:

– Tracking consumer perception of product utility as it accrues and decays; – Consolidation of products into higher-level aggregated products; and – Triggering new jobs where needed whenever relevant data becomes available.

SLIDE 14

What SMOFN Does That OPCEN SM Couldn’t Do

Nodes other than Producer

– Discovery threads – Interaction between nodes

More flexibility in job steps

– Unlimited number – Step names

SLIDE 15

Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO

What the Producer Does

Only node in OPCEN SM
Converts raw data into analyzed products
Progress is tracked step by step
Job state accounts for

– Utility accrued / decayed – Operators involved – Time spent / left

SLIDE 16

Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO

What the Repository Does

Transfers information between nodes according to OV-1

SLIDE 17

Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO

What the Consumer Does

Receives Products from Repository
May generate Questions some time after receiving

each Product

SLIDE 18

Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO

What the Discoverer Does

Jobs defined similar to Producer
Jobs start when Questions received
Three possible results

– All required data found – Some required data found – No required data found

Found data triggers new analysis job at Producer
Missing data triggers Query to External Sources

SLIDE 19

Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO

What the External Sources Do

Logic similar to Consumer
Receives Queries from Repository
Generates Responses some time after receiving

each Query

Work in progress

Customization of SMOFN is underway to make

data files representative of new Canadian Forces Command structure – OPCEN config – Job threads (reporting & response process, daily brief)

Data remains outside model until runtime – model

itself remains unclassified
