Inter-agency and Cross-Domain Information Sharing

Achieving Interagency Collaboration Between the DoD and the IC – Successes and Challenges

On Monday August 9 Defense Secretary Gates announced organizational moves to consolidate IT management within the Department of Defense.  How will these changes impact information sharing with DoD and mission partners?

Keynote presentations from

 

 

Kshemendra Paul

Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment

 

Kevin P. Meiners

Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Acting) for Portfolio, Programs and Resource, OUSD(I)

This event explores where are we today and where are we headed tomorrow with:

  • Identifying, integrating, and sharing best practices
  • Sharing timely, accurate, and relevant information across organizational boundaries and mission domains.
  • Protecting information in contested environments

A one-day, hard-hitting and interactive conference highlighting real-world examples of how DoD inter-agency initiatives are creating specific implementations of secure information sharing, interoperability, collaboration, new business paradigms, and likely impacts on information sharing and inter-agency initiatives of Secretary Gates re-organization of IT functions.

A conference focusing real-world examples of how inter-agency initiatives are creating specific implementations of secure information sharing, interoperability, collaboration, and new acquisition paradigms.

Information is most powerful when it is both shared in a timely manner and protected. 

This can only happen in the real world when there is the necessary degree of commonality provided across standards, architecture, policy, governance, and most of all – implementation.

This conference digs deep into how DoD is collaborating in specific areas to make secure information sharing a reality in cross-domain environments.

In conjunction with ASD (NII) / DoD CIO and OUSD(I)

For Attendees

At this you conference will: 

  • Receive a status update on the shared vision for information environments from an inter-agency perspective 
  • Learn about progress made towards joint standards and implementation profiles - the goal is a cohesive and comprehensive baseline of standards and guidance defining the enterprise architecture relevant to systems, data, services, and capabilities affecting two or more organizations.
  • Interact with speakers on specific interoperability and sharing use cases and their lessons learned
  • Examine the complex organizational, policy, governance and technological inter-relationships
  • Understand specific efforts necessary to achieve single information environment for IC, COCOMS and Services in the context of the net-centric information enterprise vision
  • Identify and define new competencies evolving from implementing the visions such as data-staging, disconnected operations, operational agility, NetOps SME’s, etc.
  • Hear first-hand the data management and sharing issues in contested environments and from National – COCOM/JIOC – JTF – Tactical – User perspectives.

The conference will ask presenters to address some of these questions:

  • Have the DoD and IC progressed as a Joint Enterprise towards the net-centric vision?
  • Is the Net-centric Information Enterprise achievable?
  • How will we know when we get there and what are effective measures of progress?
  • What changes are necessary to implement it more quickly? 
  • How do we address social/cultural issues, both positive and negative, around information sharing, collaboration, participation, social networking, etc.?
  • Where are we creating unanticipated vulnerabilities?
  • What should integrators, vendors and capabilities providers be doing to support?
