1	An architecture for network centric operations in unconventional crisis: lessons learnt from Singapore's SARS experience Tay, Chee Bin, Mui, Whye Kee 12 1900 (has links) Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / Singapore and many parts of Asia were hit with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in March 2003. The spread of SARS lead to a rapidly deteriorating and chaotic situation. Because SARS was a new infection, there was no prior knowledge that could be referenced to tackle such a complex, unknown and rapidly changing problem. Fortunately, through sound measures coupled with good leadership, quick action and inter-agency cooperation, the situation was quickly brought under control. This thesis uses the SARS incident as a case study to identify a set of network centric warfare methodologies and technologies that can be leveraged to facilitate the understanding and management of complex and rapidly changing situations. The same set of methodologies and technologies can also be selectively reused and extended to handle other situations in asymmetric and unconventional warfare. / Office of Force Transformation, DoD US Future Systems Directorate, MINDEF Singapore. / Lieutenant, Republic of Singapore Army / Civilian, Defence Science and Technology Agency, Singapore Netcentric computing Asymmetric warfare Mobile computing Social networks Middleware Network centric warfare Technical architecture Mobile computing Collaborative networks Social networks Networks Data interoperability Middleware Ad hoc processes Ad hoc teams
