Abstract: The Naval Ordnance Safety and Security Activity (NOSSA) and Naval
Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) are examining approaches to developing a
sustainable community of explosives safety (ES) planners. Unique to the Navy, our ES
policies and guidance mandate the participation of our facility engineering/planning
professionals in the explosives safety site approval (ESA) process. Traditionally, the
planning community has been fairly stable at the installation level. With transformation
to enterprise management of Navy facilities, the planning community is now more
mobile, while at the same time we are demanding they master new enterprise tools, such
as the DDESB’s automated site planning tool (ASPT) and Navy’s geographical
information system (GIS). Experience within the Navy and the other Services has shown
that an ad hoc approach, driven at the installation level, results in gaps in support for the
development of ESA documentation and does not provide a clear chain of command to
defend resources to support manpower and enterprise tools. The structure of NAVFAC
provides a clear chain of command to defend resources, and provides personnel on the
ground at the installation level, with Regional resources to backfill gaps at the
installation. Effective Community Management, though, requires active participation
with clear roles and responsibilities at all levels, from the installation to the Echelon II
command. This paper will explore approaches to assure a stable work force with the
required skills.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Navy's GIS Solution for Decision Support and Service-wide Data-Sharing, Paper 1889 - J. Robert Carlsen and Carol W. Bason
1. Title: Navy's GIS Solution for Decision Support and Service-wide Data-Sharing, Paper 1889
Authors: J. Robert Carlsen and Carol W. Bason
Abstract
The Navy’s GeoReadiness Repository builds on a Web services, using ArcObjects 9 and open
standards, and provides the Navy with the following:
• Authoritative source of geospatial data for Navy Real Property in support of Critical
Infrastructure and Force Protection, Shore Installation Management, and
Environmental Protection
• Baseline architecture for a network of Regional Repositories
• Portal that integrates functional applications and databases
• Security controls limiting access to specific data layers
• Quality control by automating the SDSFIE Standards and IVT Quality Assurance
Plan compliance check function, and
• Access between authoritative geospatial databases
1. Introduction
The Commander, Navy Installations required a strategic-level geospatial data repository to
support executive level decision making, facilitate inter-agency data sharing, and improve the
efficiency of installation and range operations. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) created the GeoReadiness Repository to provide geospatial information relative to
the Navy’s Real Property Inventory to support Functional Areas including Facilities
Management, Environmental Management, Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP), Base
Development/Planning, Regional Planning, and Range Management.
The Navy faces many challenges as it goes through its current transformation including the lack
of an authoritative geospatial data source for cross-Navy access, data sharing, and strategic
decision support. This impedes the decision process for many strategic functional areas. In
addition, under NMCI, the Navy is challenged to:
• Eliminate duplicate existing systems
• Leverage of existing efforts and infrastructure
• Maximize system performance, flexibility, security
• Collect or develop new data at a very low cost
In order to address these issues, the GeoReadiness Repository needed to normalize and store
high quality data conforming to the Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and
2. Environment (SDSFIE). Incorporated metadata needed to meet Federal Data Geographic
Committee (FGDC) metadata standards. Using these well-defined standards, the Navy could
provide quality input to the Defense Installations Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) as well as
expand current capabilities to include basic tools to search, mine and access the data utilizing
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products that conform to NAVFAC and Navy-Marine Corps
Internet (NMCI) standards. Web services would provide automated enforcement of the accepted
standards; a secure, controlled access (down to the spatial layer level) with a chain-of-custody
audit trail; and an interface to other Navy and cross-Services authoritative data.
With these requirements and limitations in mind, NAVFAC engaged Systems Management
Engineering, Inc. (SMEI) and its business partners to design, develop, and implement the
GeoReadiness Repository. The GeoReadiness Repository, completed in 2004, provides a single
source of authoritative strategic level geospatial data for Class I (land) and Class II (facilities)
properties. Using Web services, ArcObjects 9, and open standards, geospatial data is available to
support the Navy’s role in the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process and provides the
foundation for the enduring Navy Shore Installations Management System (NAVSIMS). As an
authoritative data source with standards-compliant local data, the Repository’s planned
functionality includes highly secure browser-based applications for 1) the submission and
conversion of existing spatial and metadata from Navy Regions and Mission Knowledge Experts
(MKE); 2) an inventory of submitted spatial data and tracking mechanism for missing
information; 3) an automated QA/QC checker for standards compliance, 4) visualization tools
for conflict resolution and initiative support, 5) distribution tools for data sharing; and 6) a
general portal for access to planning applications and mission critical authoritative data.
The GeoReadiness Repository, as an enterprise ArcSDE GIS data store, was developed using an
open architecture and COTS tools, including a suite of the new ArcGIS 9 tools that provide a
powerful new service (using ArcObjects) for submission, storage, and analysis. Not designed to
replace current Navy information systems, the GeoReadiness Repository provides a corporate
resource for sharing existing data at the Regional and Enterprise levels, serving a broad
constituency to reduce the cost of data acquisition.
2. GeoReadiness Solution
The Navy required a scalable repository design that would support complex enterprise and
regional functionality. Factors that influenced the design of the GeoReadiness Repository
included the implementation of both Navy and DoD Installation Visualization Tool (IVT)
standards, the implementation of standard architecture, and adherence to the Navy Enterprise
Navy's GIS Solution for Decision Support and Service-wide Data-Sharing Page 2
3. Application Developer’s Guide, as well as the ability to interface with current Navy regional
planning and real property systems. As a result, a rich, distributed geospatial environment to
support high security, high performance, and high fidelity applications was developed. The
foundation established support for the early uses of the Repository with the flexibility to expand
the utility of the interface over the next five to eight years. Investment in hardware and network
components based on a balanced system load model provides the highest possible system
performance at the lowest overall cost.
3. Process
The GeoReadiness Repository began as proof-of-concept effort with five Navy installations from
one region. 1-meter imagery was provided for the pilot, providing the development team with a
model for development of the “Areas of Interest” – the Navy footprint defining the imagery
extents for the remaining CONUS installations. Once the AOI’s were determined, imagery
collection and processing proceeded, taking about 6 months to accomplish. Regional training
introduced the Regional POC’s to the GeoReadiness architecture and required formats/process
for submission. A phased approach to development and implementation supported the IVT
process – initially providing a Web Services interface for data submission, archival, conversion,
QA/QC compliance checking, re-projection, geodatabase storage, and external output. A Web
Viewer was subsequently added to support the dual data submission (Regional and MKE) and
reconciliation process, providing a mechanism to review site-by-site imagery, vector layers, and
metadata. The selection of Regional versus MKE submissions was automated through the Web
Viewer, triggering SDE to flag the selected application for IVT output. As the project moves
into its next phases (DISDI and non-BRAC data acquisition), the GeoReadiness Repository
continues to support IVT QA/QC review, revision and rework.
4. Architecture
The base architecture for the GeoReadiness Repository consists of an Enterprise geospatial
database hosted at NITC (NAVFAC Information Technology Center) in Port Hueneme, CA.
Two Windows and three UNIX (Sun V880’s configured with Solaris 9) computers provide the
Web Services for data submission, QA/QC, spatial processing, staging, warehousing and
distribution for the GeoReadiness data. Redundant and mirrored systems utilize a load balancing
model for high performance processing at a low cost. The geospatial applications/web services
are built with ArcObjects 9 and the new ArcGIS Server 9, ESRI’s GIS enterprise application
server. ArcSDE (Spatial Data Engine) 8.3/9 and Oracle 9i with Oracle Spatial option provide the
powerful centralized spatial database foundation for the ArcGIS Server and the Repository.

5. Data Model
The GeoReadiness schema is structured to accommodate enterprise and executive analysis, while
supporting Regional access and distribution. While the system supports multiple local formats
(personal geodatabase, shapefiles, CADD) for installation-level data submission, the enterprise
geodatabase feature classes are structured at the regional level. Tablespace and tables maintain
the Regional level model, while the installation-level data becomes available again through
views.
5. Web Services & Security
Many of the integration, support, deployment, and even security issues facing enterprises today
can be solved with a well designed Web services architecture. Web services offer a standardized
way of integrating data and cross-platform systems using open standards, XML, simplified
object access protocols (SOAP), and other Web technologies. With the release of ArcObjects 9,
Navy's GIS Solution for Decision Support and Service-wide Data-Sharing Page 4
5. a rich GIS environment built on Web services and modular components can be rapidly deployed
to provide a robust architecture in support of enterprise GIS.
SMEI designed and built the foundation of the Navy’s GeoReadiness Repository on ArcSDE and
ArcObjects 9. The architecture supports a wide variety of users and clients ranging from
browser based thin clients to smart clients running on Windows desktop platforms. The
GeoReadiness platform implements a .NET middle tier Web services layer integrated with
Active Directory Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 for .NET. WSE 2.0 provides a
security policy framework, enhanced security model, and a message-oriented programming
model to enable the implementation of a wide variety of security models using X.509
certificates, Kerberos tickets, and many others. The GeoReadiness Web services tier implements
WSE 2.0 to secure feature level access through an ArcObjects/ArcEngine interface.
Additional Web services developed for the GeoReadiness system enable secure data (feature
level) transfer from originating sources (ArcGIS, Shape Files, ArcSDE, etc.), remote data access,
user authentication, and a wide variety of “geoprocesses” including metadata evaluation, spatial
data quality control, and layer evaluation. These procedures were developed in C# and make
extensive use of the ArcObjects 9 technology. Geoprocesses currently in development include
the generation of explosion safety arcs and facility assessment calculations based on geographic
and facility related information.
6. Standards
GeoReadiness enforces the CADD/GIS Center SDSFIE v2.2, the FGDC Content Standards for
Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) and the IVT Quality Assurance Plan 1.1 standards
electronically through the QA/QC Web service interface. QA/QC occurs as the first step in the
submission of data from the Regions or MKE’s. Developed for IVT by the Navy and other
services, the QAP defines specifications and minimum standards for both spatial and metadata
content list in the table above. The QA/QC interface checks for compliance to both standards –
first the SDSFIE spatial and attribute organizational compliance; second, the CSDGM/QAP
metadata compliance. An email notification system informs submitter and data manager of
completion status and quality of submission. No entry is processed though to the Repository
until it passes both SDSFIE and QAP compliance.
The scalable architecture of the QA/QC Web service allows for expansion/modification of the
rules-based tables that checked the initial IVT layers to accommodate the subsequent 120 spatial
Navy's GIS Solution for Decision Support and Service-wide Data-Sharing Page 5
6. layers planned for BRAC 2005, Navy Real Property Management, and DISDI initiatives.
Through an iterative process of review, comparative analysis, and rework, the high quality
spatial and metadata content supports a common set of rules and definitions, ensuring
consistency across the Repository.
7. GeoReadiness Today and Tomorrow
In conjunction with the BRAC process, the GeoReadiness Repository recently played a key role
in the IVT initiative, where Joint Services spatial, attribute, and metadata data were submitted to
DoD for installation and associated range complex boundaries, as well as exclusion zone areas
and environmental constraints. The resulting prioritized layers are the initial foundation of the
GeoReadiness Repository today.
Initial Phase: Subsequent Phases:
BRAC & DoD/IVT Portfolio Development non-BRAC & DISDI
1-meter/pixel resolution geo-referenced Commercial Satellite Sub-meter Imagery
Imagery (B/W and Color); 5-meter imagery for Range
Complex Boundaries
Installation/Range Boundaries Base Boundary, Leases, Easements
AICUZ Noise Contours (>65 dB) Building and Structure Footprints
Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones Vehicle and Airfield Pavements
Explosive Safety Quantity-Distance (ESQD) Arcs Utilities Distribution
100-year Floodplains Environmental Hazards and Compliance
Wetlands Hydrological Features
Today, the GeoReadiness Repository supports an audience of Navy Regional GIS Analysts and
Functional Area Managers for data sharing, access, and distribution of geospatial resources. In
that capacity, version 1.0 supports ongoing QA/QC efforts by providing key data suppliers and
reviewers with the required essential functionality to finalize DoD’s foundation layers and their
associated metadata. Support functions include the following:
• Distributed secure remote data upload & download
• Data capture and automatic update
• Upload status notification
• Quality Assurance / Quality Control
• Data Consistency Viewer
• Selection to SDE load
• Export to IVT format
Navy's GIS Solution for Decision Support and Service-wide Data-Sharing Page 6
7. The integrated GeoReadiness Repository Information Tracking System (GRITS)
(www.georeadiness.com) performs as an inventory manager Web service for the Repository.
It tracks spatial data submissions from Navy Regions and MKE’s, records Point-of-Contact
(POC) information, and provides data fulfillment and statistical gap analysis.
As the Repository grows both data-wise and functionally, the user audience will expand to
include executives, decision support analysts & managers. In progress for this version is the
Web services interface providing visualization of the data for Navy installation planning,
facilities management, and executive support. This is accomplished via a highly secure,
flexible, and easily managed interface. The Repository architecture will effectively act as an
integrated spatial/non-spatial decision support “portal,” capable of both horizontal and
vertical communications, providing interoperability with leading GIS and CADD vendors.
Links to the Navy’s iNFADS for building details on Class I and Class II Real Property, as
well as links to other Navy mission-critical shore installation management systems (RSIMS,
RSIP-Link) will provide a powerful distributed environment for geospatial analysis and
query. The open, scalable architecture allows subsequent versions to provide general
availability to the Navy and a secure, chain-of-custody environment to authorized external
users for non-BRAC efforts in Homeland Security, AT/FP, and Critical Infrastructure
Protection.
