The publication describes how the use of C4ISR architectures in the definition of requirements and analysis of complex systems provides for a conventional description of the domain and for detailed study of the processes in the investigated system. The steps and stages in the description of operational, systems, and technical views of the simulation system are presented. The requirements for the system’s software development are defined on that basis. </style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goran Johnson</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Kirov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Commercial Information Technology for Military Operations: Information Sharing and Communication Security in Ad-Hoc Coalitions</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">119-127</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Kirov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soft Computing Agents for Dynamic Routing</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">distributed information systems</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fuzzy Logic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fuzzy routing.</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">soft computing agents</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">104-116</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper reviews and evaluates the state-of-the-art in Distributed Information Systems. It outlines some disadvantages of distributed software applications (world-wide information services, databases, and software packages that are connected through the Internet and other network systems). It is concluded that the field of distributed network systems is in a critical need of intuitive and innovative approaches to address the growing complexity in all of its different aspects: communication, routing, performance, stability, connectivity. In an attempt to resolve the above-mentioned problems an approach is proposed that combines the Bee-gent agent technology and the fuzzy-logic representation. The paper presents an example of soft-computing agents for dynamic routing that uses distributed database applications as illustration of the concept.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Kirov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fuzzy Approach for FDDI Network Performance Improvement” (paper presented at the First International IEEE Symposium on Intelligent Systems, Student Session</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2002</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">September 10-12</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Varna, Bulgaria</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17-23</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dimitar Lakov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Kirov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information Soft Computing Agents in Network Management</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Conference on Automatics and Informatics</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">May 30 – June 2</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sofia, Bulgaria</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A177- A183</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dimitar Lakov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Kirov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information Soft Computing Agents</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Conference on Automatics and Informatics’2000, October 24-26, 2000), 135-140.</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">October 24-26</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">135-140</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dimitar Lakov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Kirov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Routing of Computer Nets via Fuzzy Logic</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Youth Science Session, Sofia, Bulgaria</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">100-105</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record></records></xml>
