We have performed proof-of-concept research on prediction software interfaces for information system. Such software can aid in the projection of effects of Command and Control (C2) decisions and allows alternate Courses-of-Action (CoAs) to be evaluated. Our objective is to significantly augment Command and Control decision services by making predictive results of simulations and similar software as accessible as databases and other information components. The motivating concept is that an interface language allows separation of customers and providers, and that the autonomy created allows progress to be made independently.
