Agents, Agent Architectures and Agent-based applications have become a phenomena in recent years with seemingly everyone jumping on the bandwagon. However, as with any truly revolutionary breakthrough technology, Agents have lacked standards and rulingbodies to govern the direction of the bandwagon in its infancy. While inside this wagon train apparent chaos ruled, but with that chaos came many ...

The current problem of handling thousands of workflows and hundreds of tasks associated with these workflows within the current ALP architecture is enormous. In this effort we propose efficient and scalable data structure and algorithms that can order the workflows and associated tasks to be processed by the Assessor. In addition, we provide the capability to correlate workflows with actual logi ...

Radios are required for every spacecraft mission, yet spacecraft radios truly suited for nanosatellites currently do no exist. AeroAstro's proposed Modular S-Band Radio Suite (MSBRS) will solve this problem and make inexpensive spacecraft in the 1 to 30kgclass feasible. In this SBIR program AeroAstro will develop a set of miniature radio modules specifically intended to allow the spacecraft deve ...

THIS PROPOSAL OUTLINES AN APPROACH TO BRING TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY A TECHNOLOGY AND CONCEPT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT VESSELS CAPABLE OF TRANSITING THE OCEANS AT OR ABOVE 300-400 KNOTS AND INITIALLY DISPLACING 1000 TO 5000TONS. WHILE THE SPEEDS WILL REMAIN SUBSONIC, THESE VESSELS ARE NOT PHYSICALLY BOUND, AND COULD GROW TO APPROXIMATE SHIPDIMENSIONS AND DISPLACEMENTS, DEPENDING ON MISSION. ...

Aurora Flight Sciences and Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute propose a joint program to develop a generalized MAV navigation and guidance framework applicable to both hovering and fixed wing configurations. The proposed cooperative program seeks to apply image processing methods and devices developed at CMU for a wide range of MAV navigation with special emphasis to the indoor and urb ...

DETECTION OF ALL CLASSES OF MINES, METAL OR PLASTIC CASED, BURIED OR ON THE SURFACE CANNOT BE RELIABLY DETECTED USING CURRENT TECHNOLOGY. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL EXAMINE BOTH THE CONCEPT OF FREQUENCY SIGNATURE AS THE MEANS OF DETECTION OF PLASTIC MINES, AS WELL AS SELECT COMPLIMENTARY CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES TO INSURE RELIABLE DETECTION. IN ADDITION, THE EFFORT WILL EXAMINE A VARIETY O ...
