Application Communities (AC)

Program Manager: Mr. James Donlon (TCTO)

Mission:

The goal of the Application Communities (AC) program is to develop a software execution infrastructure for existing COTS programs. This infrastructure will monitor and augment COTS application behavior so multiple active copies of an application running under the infrastructure behave as a self-aware community that:

Collaboratively diagnoses problems (attacks/bugs/errors),
Collaboratively responds to problems by generating appropriate configuration changes, patches, filters, etc., and
Collaboratively generates a community-specific situation awareness gauge that predicts the likelihood and timing of imminent problems.
