The current one of interest is BAA 04-14, Innovative Architectures for Unified Incident Command and Decision Support (UICDS) issued from Department of Homeland Security Research Programs Agency (HSARPA). http://www.hsarpabaa.com/ The trick here is that as one gets closer to the real time sensors, XML verbosity really is an issue for performance. The Naval Postgraduate School results for their XML Binary based on the Sun FastInfoset is showing real improvements in size compression over simply zipping, faster parsing, and preserving the ability to validate. To be clear, the BAA does not call for this solution, does call for XML, and does call for innovation with respect to the problems of creating a UICDS. len From: Paul Cotton [mailto:pcotton@microsoft.com] > Broad Area Announcements issued from the US Dept of Homeland Security.
