Ontology & Agent-Based Information Processing in Network Centric Warfare

This paper analyzes the feasibility of agent application in the network centric Warfare (NCW), and points out the difficulties in this process as well. The Semantic Web-based information processing framework is constructed, so that we can process information based on agent, effectively translate information superiority into knowledge superiority and finally build the decision superiority. At the same time, this paper also propose an ontology-based Web Service description model to describe the Web Services in multi-directions, on the basis of which agent can accurately and correctly comprehend the function and process of Web Services. Thus, a general platform-independent technological framework is built to make agent automatically invoke and compose the Web Services, and the interconnection, intercommunication and interoperation of information on various platforms also can be realized finally.
