The incorporation of new members into the Alliance came to the fore. In the light of this approach, cooperation with partner nations became an important area for discussion. Ensuring that partner forces could work together effectively was one of the main objectives and this, in turn, highlighted the term ‘interoperability’ once again. Thus, the evolution of interoperability between NATO and partner nations after the demise of Cold War is considered in this essay, its importance is underscored, the levels of interoperability are introduced and the feasibility of Azerbaijan’s engagement in these levels is analyzed in this article. Different tools and mechanism that the Alliance has launched over the last decades are scrutinized and useful recommendations are considered for Azerbaijan to enhance its military interoperability with NATO. From this perspective of interoperability, different successful models have been outlined as examples for Azerbaijan to follow.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91</style></section></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%">Stoyan Avramov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Integrating COTS Technologies into a Scalable Mobile  Emergency Command Post</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%">C4ISR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">drill</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">emergency management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">exercise</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">field command and control</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">information assurance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information Security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">operational</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">system</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">technical architecture</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%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">87-96</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The article describes an ongoing effort in developing and demonstrating the capabilities of commercial-off-the-shelf technologies, integrated to provide cost-effective on-site command and control of various emergencies. The author briefly presents major operational, system, and technical architecture issues, as well as the approach chosen to deal with the problem of information assurance. The proposed C2 architecture may be easily scaled to better fit requirements of a particular customer. It has been tested in laboratory environment and highly acclaimed at technical exhibitions. The concept will be further tested during an international disaster relief exercise, to be conducted in the summer of 2003 in Bulgaria under the coordination of the State Agency for Civil Protection of the Republic of Bulgaria.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
