SPS SHALL UNDERTAKE AND R&D EFFORT TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF AN "INTELLIGENT EXPERT ASSISTANT" WHICH APPLIES EXPERT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMPUTER-AIDED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (CASE) TOOLS FOR STRUCTURED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVE IS TO SHOW THAT HIGHER-QUALITY, FASTER, AND MORE EFFICIENT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IS ACHIEVABLE WITH AN EXPERT SY ...

IMPULSIVE SOURCES (LANDSLIDES, EXPLOSIONS, AND SO FORTH) ARE CAPABLE PRODUCING EXTREMELY LARGE WAVES IN SUFFICIENTLY DEEP WATER. IF CONTAINED IN A STEEP-WALLED FORD-LIKE CHANNEL, SUCH WAVES CAN BE PROPAGATED WITH LITTLE LOSS OF ENERGY OVER SIGNIFICANT DISTANCES. THE MAJOR ENERGY DISSIPATOR IN THIS CASE MIGHT BE THE OCCURRENCE OF BREAKING IN THE NARROW SHALLOW ZONES ALONG EACH BANK; THIS LOSS MECHA ...

The Navy is imposing weight limits on the Cooperative Engagement (CeC) Program, the electronic equipment racks presently used by the Navy are very heavy and expensive to produce, this Program will develop a lightweight rack which will meet the operational requirements and be less expensive to product. Military systems are becoming increasingly complex and have to meet a larger arra of requirement ...

Throughput has been an issue for embedded and stand-alone real-time systems for many years. Systems rarely exhibit the performance necessary for successful operation in the field without significant rework to reduce time requirements after the initial software development. SPS proposes Project Tempus to develop a software measure that predicts the performance of a real-time system early in its d ...
