The document discusses situation awareness and knowledge management approaches for complex and dynamic systems. It proposes modeling different elements of the system and information processing requirements. This includes entity, activity, representation, measurement, observation and event models. It also discusses roles, tasks, outcomes and guidance for stakeholders involved in situation awareness through a Situation Awareness Unified Process. Design decisions and views of the proposed situation awareness system architecture are also covered at a high level.
