Applied Visions, Inc. (AVI) proposes to develop visualization aids to enhance the situational awareness of information assurance analysts regarding: 1) temporal changes in cyber security events, and 2) the impact of cyber security events (e.g. probes,intrusions) on mission-critical tasks (e.g. ATO generation; preparation of Mission Situation Reports). The visualization aids will operate on a Wind ...

Maliciously constructed boot firmware is a threat to our information infrastructure that has largely been ignored. Boot firmware controls the power-up procedure initializing a computer's hardware and loading its run-time system. This code, embedded inall third-party peripheral devices, can easily be corrupted and then exploited to undermine security engineering at the operating system, protocol, ...

Conventional methods of quality assurance cannot manage the increasing complexity of embedded systems and the demands being placed upon them. Aspect-Oriented Programming is a promising new software technology, well suited to embedded systems. MarryingAOP with formal methods will make possible high assurance at low cost, as will be demonstrated by a prototype environment for software development ...

In its 1999 SBIR solicitation, DARPA requested ideas for a Clandestine UAQ (CUAV) that could covertly deliver small packages in advance of military operations. Aurora Flight Sciences was awarded a Phase I contract in May 2000. During Phase I Aurora has(1) performed a range of trade studies and selected a unique vertical takeoff and landing UAV configuration, (2) developed optical guidance strateg ...

The proposed SBIR Phase II effort to develop a Personal Health and Fitness Wizard (PHFW) will, within the first year, year a fully functional Internet-based site the provides individual users with easily accessible, tailored guidance concerning theirpersonal health and fitness. The PHFW will to beyond simply providing health and fitness advice: it will function as a

Beltran proposes to develop a new advanced technology for the fabrication of magnetic polymers. One of the possible ways to provide the values of magnetic characteristics required for electronic applications of polymer materials is to utilize polymermaterials in the form of magnetic nanoparticles incorporated in easily available organic polymer matrices. The necessary magnetic and resistance prope ...

Reliable Software Technologies proposes to investigate the feasibilityof integrating its successful intrusion detection technology with itstechnology for wrapping the Microsoft Windows components that executeJavaScript, VBScript, and other scripting languages. We also propose toinvestigate the feasibility of generating virtual execution traces using uniquefeatures of the Microsoft scripting archi ...
