In this proposal, we will develop a uniform framework, called a multimedia mediator, for integrating and querying multimedia data as well as heterogenous data located on a distributed network. The multimedia mediator will use distributed computing technology to scale up to real-world applications. We will develop graphical query languages and query engines whereby an end-user can query a system ...

AbTech will survey the hardware and software available to determine what capabilities should be included in a natural language understanding mission planning assistant. A language parsing and encoding system in ANN will be used to parse and encode ASCII outpuf resulting from a voice recognition system such as DragoDictate. The ASCII output from the voice recongnition system will go to the ANN la ...

Although satellite-based SAR is sensitive enough to pick up the modulation effects of internal waves, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of th-Ls observable is believed to be to() low to afford detection of enemy sukuiarines . Adaptive Software prolses that with a new interpretation of singular value decomposition, the SNR can be improved enough to allow automated detection of sukfmrine paths. While ...

Avionics flight tests are critical for evaluating weapon systems in operational environments not cost-effectively emulated in flight test. This proposal is for an AATEAS designed to provide the tools necessary to obtain optimal results during avionics testing using established techniques in various test environments. The core of the AATEAS is the Master Workstation (AMWS). This is a mini/macro com ...

A discrete event computer simulation will be developed and used to evaluate the expected performance of the UHF satellite communications Automatic Demand Assignment Multiple Access (Auto-DAMA) Subsystem. Phase I will describe UHF DAMA traffic scenarios, define design requirements for the Auto-DAMA computer model and develop a model of fundamental , single channel Auto-DAMA operations. Phase II wil ...

A stratified random sampling technique is used to minimize the time until detection of users of illicit drugs. The stratification is based on likelihood of drug use and importance of the billet occupied. Likelihood of drug used is calculated from fundamental characteristics (e.g., age, sex, education), performance, health and behavior (e.g., relative amount of sick leave, unusual behavior) ...
