Workflow Processes are used to organize and control information access and processing in networked computing environments. There is a need to begin developing standards and mechanisms that can be used to provide dynamic, configurable, secure, and verifiable workflow systems. In a multi-user, multi-source, multi-classification environment, robust security is anything but simple. We propose to i ...

One of the biggest problems faced by both military and non-military personnel in planning and conducting Operations Other Than War (OOTW) and Law Enforcement (LE) is a lack of cultural awareness. A lack of cultural awareness in OOTW causes misplanning and misinterpretation in the areas of economics, politics, religion, and historical events. The objective of the proposed work is to produce a des ...

The research proposed herein is designed to validate the critical technologies required to implement a miniaturized, portable biological agent sensor with 1,000-fold higher sensitivity than prior art devices. This sensor is based on the proprietary Multi Photon Detection (MPD) technology developed by BioTraces, Inc. When used with the Super IRMA assay developed by BioTraces, MPD has enabled the ...

Improved magnetic and electromagnetic sensors covering a wide range of frequencies, 0 to 10kHz, and with extremely high sensitivity are proposed for broad area detection and characterization of underground targets. The sensors can be used for a variety of applications and for different e.m. sources. They can be configured as gradiometers, as vector or scaler sensors and can be used as internette ...

DECISION SCIENCE CONSORTIUM, INC. (DSC) PROPOSES TO ENGAGE IN AN INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT AN ADVERSARIAL PLANNING SYSTEM THAT IS ABLE TO REASON ABOUT THE PERSISTENCE OVER TIME OF AN ADVERSARY'S BELIEF AND INTENTIONS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS SYSTEM WILL UTILIZE EITHER A NONMONOLITHIC SITUATIONAL OR TEMPORAL LOGIC TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH AN ADVERSARY'S PRESENT BELIEFS ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW AND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES WHICH DETERMINE ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING BEHAVIOR ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN RADAR CROSS SECTION (RCS) CONTROL. TWO OF THE MORE IMPORTANT ANALYTICAL PROBLEMS REQUIRING SOLUTION IN THIS AREA ARE THE CHARACTERIZATION OF RADAR SCATTERING FROM COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND OPTIMUM APPLICATION OF MATERIAL COATINGS TO METALLIC S ...

A PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF COMBINING A PHASE-CHANGE NON-LINEAR OPTICAL MATERIAL WITH A PHOTOREFRACTIVE MATERIAL IN THIN LAYERS TO ACHIEVE A THREE DIMENSIONAL MASS STORAGE MEDIUM. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS POSSESSING GOOD POLARIZABILITY ALONG WITH COMPOSITION CONDUCIVE TO PHASE CHANGE MECHANICS WILL BE TESTED FOR SHG AND PHASE CHANGE ABILITY, THEN PREPARED IN THIN FILMS ON PHOT ...

Project will demonstrate the feasibility of combining signatures from multiple sensor domains to the problem of detecting, localizing and characterizing an underground facility. The Phase I effort will focus on establishing, integrating, and validating models for the source and propagation phenomenologies associated with electromagnetic, seismic, and acoustic signatures of mechanical and electro ...
