The overall objective of this project is to develop an automatic adaptive testing system that rapidly identifies specific cognitive deficits to aid in medical and operational decision making. This system will greatly increase the usability of test systems developed under Army sponsorship during the last 20 years, resulting in a product with broad application in both military and civilian environm ...

In this project we will develop a computerized microscope based imaging system for field testing that will allow location and quantization of malarial parasites (trophozoites). The system will automatically scan a blood smear, locating the portions of the smear that are adequate for analysis and then counting the total number of red cells and the number of red cells containing parasites. The sys ...

Current decontamination systems for chemical warfare (CW) agents require large volumes of liquid, are bulky and corrosive, and a catalytic decontaminant capable of decontaminating large amounts of agents with a small amount of catalyst would be highly desirable. The U.S. Government has sponsored several research and development projects that may have resulted in catalysts that would successfully ...

Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI) is teaming with subject matter expert Prof. Dan Roth from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) to propose a web based tool to search, filter, and collaboratively work on"document chains"interactively. The proposed Semantic Inference and Filtering Tool (SIFT) will provide an intuitive interface coupled with advanced Natural Language Processing (NL ...

Irvine Sensors Corporation (ISC) together with North Carolina State University propose to develop a novel behavioral technique that is capable of detecting network based intrusions, and can then be used to identify signatures for an Intrusion Prevent Engine (IPE). The behavioral technique proposed detects attacks embedded in different network layers using assertions that can be dynamically updated ...

Dr. Thomas J.R. Hughes, senior advisor at Coreform, first introduced isogeometric analysis (IGA) in 2005. In the years since, it has been shown that smooth splines, the basic building blocks of IGA, allow for the use of relatively coarse meshes for accurate analysis in both finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Research results also show that IGA delivers improved a ...

As the U.S. Government continues to post-conflict reconstruction and stabilization (R/S) around the globe, the implementation of an automated strategic planning aid is critical to future success. The objective of this program is to demonstrate the feasibility of a strategic planning framework that leverages the latest collaboration technologies to provide desktop access to R/S goals, missions and ...

The Phase I effort will develop an easily understood and usable application/tool for U.S. military planners and their U.S. Government Interagency partners to rapidly enter data from framework documentation. Sonalysts will organize and store the data in a relational database that allows the rapid establishment of strategies and moreover supports the development of plans to achieve those goals. To ...

Pacific Science & Engineering Group (PSE) and the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) propose the Decision Support System for STAbilization, Reconstruction, and Conflict Transformation (START). This tool will facilitate the Draft Planning Framework for Reconstruction, Stabilization, and Conflict Transformation, a complex planning process involving collaborative users. START's graphical user in ...

This proposal offers a detailed work plan to conduct the research and development tasks necessary to produce a system for use by U.S. military planners and their U.S. Government interagency partners to access relevant lessons learned and reachback capabilities in stabilization and reconstruction environments. Development of the proposed Security, Stabilization, Transition, and Reconstruction Infor ...
