Greetings! The purpose of this email is to announce the start of a mailing
list for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence
(C4I) professionals. Details are listed below explaining the purpose and
expected content of the list. I invite you to join and ask you to pass
this information to anyone you think may be interested in this area. Thank
you.


-----------------------------------
c4i-pro (C4I Professional) mailing list

This mailing list was created for use by anyone interested or involved in
the area of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence
(C4I). Its purpose is to serve as a central point or clearinghouse
(unclassified) for information and activities of interest to members of
the C4I professional community. This includes military and government
civilian members (both in operational, acquisition and policy positions),
C4I contractors and members of the academic community worldwide. Topics of
discussion are envisioned to include:

Conference/meeting announcements
Exercise announcements (e.g. JWID)
Lists of C4I resources on the net
C4I thesis ideas and proposals
C4I lessons learned
Generic discussion on such C4I topics as:
- C4I theory
- C4I systems design and acquisition
- C4I system models and simulations
- Information technology security and protection
- C3 countermeasures
- Current C4I topics and issues
- Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW)
- Information Warfare/C2 Warfare
- Cyberwar and Netwar
- C4I equipment effectiveness

The c4i-pro list is managed by students and faculty of the Naval
Postgraduate School's (NPS) Joint C4I Systems curriculum.  The NPS is the
U.S. Navy's graduate education university.  More than 1800 students from
all four U.S. Services and over 40 countries are studying for graduate
degrees in a variety of curricula.  The Joint C4I Systems curriculum
provides U.S. students from all four services the opportunity to obtain a
masters of science degree in systems technology.  For more information on
the NPS or the C4I curriculum, see our WWW home page described below or
contact Ernie Beran at eberan@nps.navy.mil or Dan Boger at
dcboger@nps.navy.mil.

DISCLAIMER: This is an unofficial list provided only as an unclassified
clearinghouse for general C4I information. Information posted on this list
does not necessarily represent DoD policy.

You should be aware that another more specific mailing list called c4i-nps
also exists.  It is targeted toward students, faculty and alumni of the
Naval Postgraduate School Joint C4I Systems curriculum. To find out more
about either mailing list (such as where old messages are archived and who
subscribes to the list) send a message to

        c4i-pro-request@stl.nps.navy.mil         or
        c4i-nps-request@stl.nps.navy.mil         as desired

leave the subject line blank and then type

        Help

in the first line of text.  You should receive an email response listing
other commands and how to use them.

Finally, there is a World Wide Web (WWW) home page which complements both
C4I mailing lists. The home page contains information related to C4I.
