Project Goals and Objectives
Build a viable approach for IOOS that benefits society and meets stakeholder objectives
Synthesize requirements, leveraging considerable work to date into an achievable, affordable architecture
Develop conceptual design, cost estimate, and viability narrative
Understanding the IOOS Project
Top level objective of IOOS – Facilitate and enable increased understanding of oceans for benefit of society through improved access to models, products, and data

Critical Project Challenges Ahead
J5195-YFO-06
Key Elements of SAIC Team’s Solution
Number of stakeholders and diversity of views
Short time frame for deliverables
Accommodate existing IOOS components
Leverage existing surveys and reports Personal interviews with key stakeholders Dual team (Architecture/Engineering and Business/Operations) Determine business model with roles and responsibilities for
each category
Staff highly experienced in conceptual design, enterprise architecture development, ocean science, and with significant IOOS experience
Begin detailed planning prior to contract award (e.g. strawman approach for stakeholder interviews)
Leverage existing relationships with key stakeholders Tools and methods in place now (e.g. SURA Twiki,
EngineeringEdgeTM, SAIC Common Approach to System Engineering and TMC templates)
Characterize and understand legacy systems Define reference architecture Perform gap analysis Employ open standards
Understanding Critical Project Challenges
We know what needs to be done and we can do it
