Agenda Motivation and Challenges Project Goals System and Scenario description Demo and Results Lessons Learned Project Team


Motivation and Challenges

Basic problem: Find the right people for the job and ensure their readiness

Challenges: Identify skills a team needs Identify warfighter skills Identify skills when different vocabularies

are used for the same or similar things Identify, assign and engage in focused

training – “Time is readiness!” Provide useful overview of readiness


It all looks great on paperBut for this to work on a computer “Competencies” must be stored in a way that

can be used by multiple system components Taxonomies of skills from different agencies

must be codified and correlated Individuals / roles must be chosen based on

contributions to team readiness Training must be matched to skills and skills

must be recorded when training is completed “Training” includes immersive training Information on readiness must be formatted in

ways that make sense

What we set out to do

Goals and Requirements from Phase 1 and Phase 2


Phase I Goals Solve practical problems in readiness and training Research and solve problems concerning storing,

mapping and “rolling up” competencies. Support joint training scenarios Develop and demonstrate an SOA solution Integrate multiple systems:

Competency and training management Training systems SCORM Runtime Environment

Use NAVSEA and TRADOC test beds


Further Goals from a proposed Phase II

Extend scope to more service scenarios and systems

Support team competencies. Handle and respond to queries about competencies Apply to experiential training Integrate with Personnel Management systems


And last but not least …

Provide JADL with feedback and recommendations on applications of standards to competency management to integrated architectures


What We Did Met all Phase I (and some Phase II) goals*:

Store and manage competencies using RCD Integrate with RTE, SCORM 2004 tool, and other

Prototypes using Web services Mapped taxonomies using semantic technologies Developed content using (commercial version

evolved from) XML SCORM Studio Built system to support joint training scenarios System answers queries concerning individual

competencies & supports team concepts Successfully applied relevant standards*Except for acquisition of data from TRADOC / NAVSEA

Standards & Specs Used

RCD (Reusable Competency Definitions)

SCORM vCard IMS Job Header LOM


Systems used SCORM Sample RTE Practice ADL-R Eduworks Tenereo* Eduworks “ACE” technologies** ECS & BBN systems for demo

*Commercial version of XML SCORM Studio independently developed by Eduworks** Automated Content Enhancement: Applications of semantic technologies developed independently by Eduworks


Skills Mapping using LSA Latent Semantic Analysis: Matches text

based on tendency to appear in the same context in domain-specific documents


Competency Mapping and Systems Integration Roll-up and maps based on Ostyn

models (with simplifications) Joint training scenario based on Army

and Navy training RTE Web service Vcard used to stub personnel

management system


Programming Languages, Protocols & Frameworks C# .NET 2.0 HTTP, REST, SOAP XML, XSD Custom UI controls


Demo

1. Mission

2. Team

3. Staff

4. Readiness


Results & Lessons Learned Obtaining test bed data was problematic One year is short: need bridge to

commercialization Ostyn framework worked Web services approach worked Separating competency management from

learning management has advantages Staffing models are still too simplistic Developing taxonomies is large challenge Semantic techniques are promising


Future

Continue to develop to support DoD & Government requirements
