19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number)
Achieving integration and interoperability among various different systems
is a challenging task. In the particular case of the Argentine Army, this
task comprises the reorganization of current applications and their inte-
gration with programs under development at different stages. The purpose
of this thesis is to identify and analyze the up-to-date tools and tech-
niques that can help the development efforts of the Argentine Army to in-
tegrate and make interoperable its current and future systems. This thesis
attempts to serve as only a guide for the introduction of ideas, models,
tools, and technique^ related with the factors that can improve the inter-
operability in the C I system of the Argentine Army. It also attempts to
be a compendium of up-to-date information to be used by people who are
working in the management of related fields in the Argentine Army.

ABSTRACT
Achieving integration and interoperability among various different systems is a
challenging task. In the particular case of the Argentine Army, this task comprises the
reorganization of current applications and their integration with programs under
development at different stages. The purpose of this thesis is to identify and analyze the
up-to-date tools and techniques that can help the development efforts of the Argentine
Army to integrate and make interoperable its current and future systems. This thesis
attempts to serve as only a guide for the introduction of ideas, models, tools, and
techniques related with the factors that can improve the interoperability in the C3I system
of the Argentine Army. It also attempts to be a compendium of up-to-date information to
be used by people who are working in the management of related fields in the Argentine
Army.
