We proposed to develop an application development framework based on mobile code language called Agents, Agencies, Artifacts, & Appliances. The key innovated feature of this framework is the support for development of collaborative applications and the support for higher level design patterns rather than low level user interface construction. The framework will be based on an object oriented MIT ...

There are three elements to the cost of a composite: the matrix, the reinforcement and the cost of the fabrication technology. It is affordable fabrication technology that hinders nanocomposite development. Techniques like lay-up, winding etc., mandated by continuous fibers, are simply too expensive. A truly low cost fabrication method would have to be based on short fibers. Individualized nano ...

Aurora Flight Sciences, with expertise in designing and manufacturing low Reynolds number high-altitude aircraft, proposes to develop new aerodynamics computational tools and flight control solutions to enable the development of 15cm and smaller hovering micro unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAV)s. The objective of this project is to validate the analytical approach, and refine the proposed MUAV desig ...

Radiation curing using Ultraviolet (UV) Light and Electron Beams (EB) offer advantages for a variety of aircraft structural and non-structural applications. Radiation curing of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, paints, adhesives and sealants can offer processing and cost advantages over conventional materials. Radiation curable paints are solvent-free, an environmental, health and safety and ...

This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

Mountain Wave, Inc. proposes to investigate the development of an automated network security management product that would allow personnel within an Information Technology (IT) organization to combine information from heterogeneous sources into an integrated application that captures business processes and automates tasks to "prevent" potential security violations. This product will: be "extensib ...

Mayflower Communications proposes to substantially improve the reliability of Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers under jamming using a combined adaptive antenna and temporal filter solution that incorporates low cost, small size, and low power requirements. The objective is to provide up to 50 dB of additional interference protection for both military and commercial GPS systems at an affor ...

We propose here new methods for system identification and active feedback control of axial flow compressors under conditions of incipient rotating stall and surge in the presence of inlet distortions. The nonlinear Moore-Greitzer model of rotating stall, which has proven useful for both simulation of rotating stall/surge dynamics of axial compression systems and for control design studies, will b ...
