Software architecture and logic for secure applications

Today´s military supports many different missions as well as the traditional role of national defense. This diversity means that these systems must be easily configurable to accommodate integration with coalition partners all over the world and with local law enforcement and emergency response organizations, and secure and survivable to ensure the success of the military mission. Commercial workflow and enterprise application integration products provide solutions to similar problems in the commercial world. However these products cannot satisfy the military because they lack security and survivability features. DoD needs multilevel secure (MLS) and survivable systems and tools that allow users to program multilevel mission logic, securely coordinate globally distributed users and existing applications, and monitor the progress of the distributed program across classification domains. This paper summarizes an effort to provide a methodology and tools to support mission critical operations
