Harris Corporation's Jeremy Wensinger to Provide Industry Keynote Address at C4I Symposium
FAIRFAX, Va., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jeremy Wensinger, group
president of the Government Communications Systems segment of Harris
Corporation (NYSE: HRS), will provide tomorrow's industry keynote address at
the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) symposium
being held May 20-21 at the George Mason University Johnson Center inFairfax,
Virginia. Theme of the AFCEA-George Mason symposium is "Critical Issues in
C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence)."
Titled "An Industry Perspective on Knowledge-Enhanced Information
Sharing," Wensinger's presentation will address the challenges inherent in
cross-agency collaboration and information sharing during an era of global
digitization and data overload. A central theme of his comments will be the
need for giving meaning to data by utilizing advanced technologies for
developing context, and by creating data relationships that are relevant to
the domain in which the information is used.
"Knowledge-enhanced information sharing is critical to eliminating the
delays, confusion, and conflicts associated with effectively interpreting
exponentially increasing volumes of data. It is the quickest and most
effective path to improving time-critical decision-making and mission
effectiveness," said Wensinger. "The time is right for industry, government,
and academia to work together to exploit the benefits of global digitization
and service-oriented architectures (SOAs) so that the right information is
delivered to the right person, on the right device, at the right time."
Harris has extensive expertise in the development, implementation, and
sustainment of enterprise-class, mission-critical information systems built on
SOAs. The company's integrated, SOA-based solutions are used in defense and
intelligence applications; by civil agencies such as the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Government Printing Office, and the U.S. Census Bureau;
and by large commercial broadcasting organizations around the world.
The AFCEA-George Mason University symposium is designed to bring together
members of the C4I community to focus on critical issues and emerging
challenges and opportunities, with a goal of improved interaction among
government, industry, and academic entities. The conference will offer in-
depth presentations on SOAs, geospatial information in C4I, and
interoperability.
