As a result, to manage any coalition operation an efficient knowledge sharing between multiple participating parties is required. The paper proposes an approach that combines knowledge logistics and information fusion at level two of situation assessment. The approach is based on such advanced information technologies as intelligent agents, ontology management, and constraint satisfaction/propagation. The main aim of the paper is to present the developed multi-agent architecture for intelligent support of coalition operations that would enable efficient real-time coalition operation management on-the-fly. A particular attention is given to the following three novel tasks: (i) ontology-driven knowledge representation via object-oriented constraint networks, (ii) processing of free text requests, and (iii) design of adaptive agents for on-the-fly problem solving. As an example of a coalition operation, a fictitious but illustrative case study of mobile hospital configuration from the area of health service logistics is described.&lt;/p&gt;</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%">Marvin L.

The proposal may be used to explore how C2 systems (one set of systems on a US secure network and one set of systems on a coalition LAN) could work during experimentation. Military members, both US and Coalition, contractors, acquisition, developmental test organizations, operational test agencies, and operational users are the key during C2 events and should document procedures and workarounds that improve overall CAOC system. Instead of presenting standard operating procedures for any standing Coalition Aerospace Operations Center, this paper primarily provides operational users with some insight into using more than one suite of equipment to prosecute a Coalition Air Operation. This paper expresses, both in operational and technical language, the theoretical underpinnings required for experimentation to improve a notional Coalition Aerospace Operations Center.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
