ABSTRACT:
A new approach to creating network-centric systems such as those used in warfare and for other purposes is provided. One technique for providing a collaborative capability that achieves a high level of asset utilization includes the steps of specifying a role for each node in a system, assigning a pre-defined functionality level to each node as a function of the node's role in the system, and allowing each node to share information with other nodes in the system according to each node's capabilities using the assigned functionality level. Data sharing and collaboration between nodes having different assigned functionality levels may be facilitated by adjusting the functionality level for at least one of the nodes such that both are able to communicate at the same level. The adjustment in functionality may take place directly between the nodes, or may be processed by a gateway or other intervening system.
