There exists a wide-range need in both industry and government for quantitative residual stress measurements. Generation 2 Materials Technology LLC (G2MT) will collaborate with partners from industry and government to calibrate and commercialize the eStress system to assess residual stress from mechanical damage and re-rounding. The industrial members, consortiums, and government laboratories who ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to research, design, and demonstrate a Framework for Adaptive Learning CONtent Management Delivery (FALCON). FALCON will include the following innovative capabilities (1) training content management and content delivery using multiple training modes and at multiple levels of fidelity; (2) automated and adaptive training performance assessment and test ...

State-of-the-art software protection and anti-tamper systems move critical software and data"out-of-band"to the adversary, by using a hypervisor or on"secure"hardware. Unfortunately, the systems running this software are built using untrusted commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts. Supply chain threats to critical components, such as hardware or firmware Trojans, have invalidated the assumption tha ...

Military organizations, civilian government agencies, and private companies are all undergoing an unprecedented growth in cyber attacks targeting their information infrastructures and causing serious disruptions to their operations. To date, much attention has been paid to determining ways to defend the information networks and preserve information flow. Clearly, there is an insufficient amount of ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to develop a Cyber-to-Physical Domain Mapping Toolkit for Vulnerability Analysis and Critical Resource Identification Enablement (CEPHEID VARIABLE) that enables military analysts and enterprise infrastructure management stakeholders to perform vulnerability assessment of cyber-physical systems. CEPHEID VARIABLE is an application framework that enables ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI), along with their research partner SA Technologies, Inc. proposes to design, assemble and demonstrate an innovative experimental framework to develop capability for Advanced Visualizations and User Interfaces for Cyber Situational Awareness (ADVICE). The ADVICE framework is a suite of tools in an extensible framework that support the use of newer computer-huma ...

The protection of cyber assets is a critical need for the U.S. military. The theft of sensitive software and data threatens our technological and information superiority, putting lives and valuable assets at unnecessary risk. Attacks occur too quickly for human intervention and current automated defenses are designed to thwart only known means of attack. Active software defenses are required that ...

ABSTRACT: The Department of Defense and others need a standardized means to authenticate RESTful Web services users against SAML-compliant attribute stores and authorize user access based on those attributes. Previous attempts at bridging RESTful web services to SAML have included cookies, binary representation in HTTP headers, and proprietary options. Some of these approaches work but have limit ...

ABSTRACT: The goal of the proposed work is to develop a robust spatial reasoning capacity that can provide analysts in both national defense and business environments with operational-quality spatial information about events in unstructured texts from any domain. In order to achieve this goal, we plan to combine an open-domain and customizable event extraction framework with a suite of component ...

ABSTRACT: PrivaTran will measure the radiation tolerance of new memristive materials and will design, model and simulate advanced memristor-based architectures for nonvolatile random access memory (RAM). The requirements for proper memory element isolation, programming voltage drive and current sense circuitry will be determined by circuit analysis. Memristor circuit models will be developed and ...
