"An Industry Perspective on Knowledge-Enhanced Information Sharing"
FAIRFAX, Va., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jeremy Wensinger,
group president of the Government Communications Systems segment of
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), will provide tomorrow's industry
keynote address at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics
Association (AFCEA) symposium being held May 20-21 at the George
Mason University Johnson Center in Fairfax, Virginia. Theme of the
AFCEA-George Mason symposium is "Critical Issues in C4I (Command,
Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence)." Titled "An
Industry Perspective on Knowledge-Enhanced Information Sharing,"
Wensinger's presentation will address the challenges inherent in
cross-agency collaboration and information sharing during an era of
global digitization and data overload. A central theme of his
comments will be the need for giving meaning to data by utilizing
advanced technologies for developing context, and by creating data
relationships that are relevant to the domain in which the
information is used. "Knowledge-enhanced information sharing is
critical to eliminating the delays, confusion, and conflicts
associated with effectively interpreting exponentially increasing
volumes of data. It is the quickest and most effective path to
improving time-critical decision-making and mission effectiveness,"
said Wensinger. "The time is right for industry, government, and
academia to work together to exploit the benefits of global
digitization and service-oriented architectures (SOAs) so that the
right information is delivered to the right person, on the right
device, at the right time." Harris has extensive expertise in the
development, implementation, and sustainment of enterprise-class,
mission-critical information systems built on SOAs. The company's
integrated, SOA-based solutions are used in defense and
intelligence applications; by civil agencies such as the Federal
Aviation Administration, the Government Printing Office, and the
U.S. Census Bureau; and by large commercial broadcasting
organizations around the world. The AFCEA-George Mason University
symposium is designed to bring together members of the C4I
community to focus on critical issues and emerging challenges and
opportunities, with a goal of improved interaction among
government, industry, and academic entities. The conference will
offer in- depth presentations on SOAs, geospatial information in
C4I, and interoperability. About Harris Corporation Harris is an
