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 ...

A demonstration of Broadband Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) for PCS communications overlaid in the 800 MHz AMPS cellular band will be conducted. Broadband CDMA using direct sequence spread spectrum has significant military advantages of jamming immunity and low probability of intercept. It is also the most promising of the new concepts for high capacity commercial cellular radio because of ...

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 ...

The proposed SBIR program will accelerate the commercialization of multiplexed optical fiber networks and their use in both DoD and commercial systems. F&S (Fiber & Sensor Technologies, Inc.) proposes to implement all-optical low-loss switches for signal multiplexing in large networks. This new approach to multiplexing is based on the development of optically-activated in-line switches to automa ...

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 ...

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 ...

This DARPA SBIR Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of revolutionary ionic self-assembly methods of creating electric field-tunable thin-film electronic materials and devices. Exciting recent work at F&S and Virginia Tech has shown that the ionic nature of the self-assembly process inherently results in the spontaneous regular geometric ordering of noncentrosymmetric dipole molecules. ...

This proposal is to design a standard collaborative tool that will link together geographically separated experts at specialized workstations with disparate data, source materials, algorithms and domain knowledge, for the purpose of creating geospecific virtual worlds. The proposed standard collaborative tools will be based on the proven functionality of the Multi-dimensional, user-oriented Synth ...
