Priority-based QoS Extensions and IAM Improvements

The command and control system operates in a harsh and dynamic envi-ronment with limited resources and have a very high risk of failure ormalfunction. In the case of military information systems, including the com-mand and control system, the efficiency and effectiveness of system resourcemanagement are very important and required. Therefore, the application ofa QoS-like approach is necessary to improve the operational effectivenessof all command and control system resources. However, supporting QoSat the entire command and control system level incurs additional costsand burdens for implementation and operation. This paper describes thenecessity and possibility of collaboration with QoS and IAM (identity andaccess management) among the collaboration between core functions withinthe command and control system. This paper proposes an extended QoSapproach to improve the operational effectiveness of the entire command andcontrol system resources. As a result of this research, expanded concepts,structures, standards, and methods of collaboration between QoS and IAMare developed and presented, and their feasibility is demonstrated throughprototype development and experiments.
