Orielle has received a Department of Defense grant for two projects. The first project aims to develop an intelligent assistant that enables the rapid creation and use of web services for the warfighter. The assistant will have a user-friendly interface and will incorporate technologies for dynamic web service creation, tagging services with metadata, and browsing and invoking web services. The second project focuses on developing enhancements for configuration management and validation to enable assured switching between operational and test modes. This will be achieved through the design of a moded configuration management and validation suite that extends existing implementations with trusted bundles, device inventories, and mode switching support. The company's expertise in advanced software research and development makes them well-positioned to provide these innovative solutions.
