Description

The L3 Node Interactions view addresses operational information exchanges between nodes. Information exchanges provide further detail of the interoperability requirements associated with the operational capability of interest. The focus is on information exchanges that cross the capability boundary.

Although the primary purpose of this view is to specify information exchanges, an L3 may also list flows of materiel, energy and human resources.

The L3 view may be used to:

  • Define operational concepts.
  • Elaborate capability requirements.
  • Define collaboration needs.
  • Associate capability with a location.
  • Define Problem space.
  • Operational planning.
  • Analyze Supply chain.
  • Secure models – e.g. domain-based security & entity trust models.

Implementation

The L3 view can be represented using:

  • An L3 Node Interactions table.

  • An L3 Node Role Interactions table.
