TC
members,
I am
extending an invitation to all of our members to a special meeting of the DM
Open Platform for Emergency Networks (DM_OPEN) Special interest
Group. Details for tomorrows
presentation are provided below. Our presenter will be a third
party functional expert who has had occasion to view several alerting
products in operational interoperability mode using DM-OPEN as the sharing
backbone in preparation for Coalition Warfare Interoperability Demonstration
(CWID) 2007 later this summer. He will talk about presentation clarity and
usefulness of the user interfaces as well general interoperability issues.
It will not be a "comparison of specific products." It will, however, include
recommendations for general improvement and ideas for making our use of CAP more
effective.
