Contemporary threats exhibit unique characteristics that challenge classical security systems. In response to these threats, the DoD has an increased focus on applying proven SE techniques to SoS, which provide more functionality and performance than the sum of the constituent systems. Tools and techniques are necessary to facilitate evolution of today's systems. One major need is the ability to develop agile SoS architectures that respond to contemporary threats. This paper focuses on one...

The goal of our project was to develop methods to image the processes that occur during tumor growth and metastatic spread or regression including the fate of minimal residual disease. The key to this was through the development of a dual modality imaging system capable of performing both optical and SPECT imaging in mice. To do so it is necessary to test the limits of sensitivity of newly developed techniques: our technical goal is to develop integrated light emission and single photon...

This document describes a VLSI design representation developed at USC as part of the USC Expert Synthesis System project. The data structure is implementation-independent and can be regarded as a general hardware design representation schema. It is characterized by four nonisomorphic hierarchies, which collectively describe the system under design. It is useful for the analytic detection of some kinds of design errors. (Author)

The miniaturization of a sound detection system is of great interest to applications such as sniper location. Current systems in use are larger and do not provide for the unencumbered movement of the warfighter. Inspiration for a smaller MEMS based sensor is therefore taken from the aural system of the fly Ormia ochracea. The focus of this thesis is the design of an integrated and miniaturized device utilizing commercial-off-the-shelf readout electronics with the biologically inspired sensor....

The Department of Defense (DoD) can foster dynamic and innovative solutions for tomorrow s warfighter by designing acquisition portfolios that deliver an integrated suite of capabilities. Program executive officers (PEOs) today often focus on executing a dozen similar, but independent, programs. In contrast, large commercial businesses manage integrated product lines for items ranging from automobiles and electronics to software and health services. The DoD could leverage this model as a basis...

To enhance and improve the interoperability of meteorological Web Services, we are currently developing an Integrated Web Services Brokering System (IWB). IWB uses a case-based classifier to automatically discover Web Services. In this paper, we explore the use of rough set techniques for selecting features prior to classification. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this feature technique by comparing it with a leading non-rough set (Information Gain) feature selection technique.

An Interim Report on this program, dated 15 July 1978, concluded, among other things, that the Topographic Support System (TSS) configuration, agreed to by the Integrated Equipment Evaluation Team (IEET) at its June 1978 meeting, should be simulated. In addition, it was recommended that this new simulation have the capability of varying the number of personnel in the TSS to resolve staffing problems. This has been accomplished, and the results are contained in this report. The previously...

Systems integration is a major endeavor in the development of a system. The goal of integration is to bring separately developed components to create the required system within both the defined schedule and the allocated budget. An entropic approach to assessing the success in attaining the goal, i.e., systems integration success, involves representing the system as a network, whose nodes are the elements of the system and whose links are the connections among the elements, and determining and...

Although several researchers have integrated methods for reinforcement learning (RL) with case-based reasoning (CBR) to model continuous action spaces, existing integrations typically employ discrete approximations of these models. This limits the set of actions that can be modeled, and may lead to non-optimal solutions. We introduce the Continuous Action and State Space Learner (CASSL), an integrated RL/CBR algorithm that uses continuous models directly. Our empirical study shows that CASSL...

To operate properly in a complicated environment, a robotic system requires both high-level command facilities and low-level sensing/control mechanisms. This report describes a powerful combination of a cognitive architecture at the high-level and the whole-body motion control at the low-level. The team has achieved significant technical advances in relation to its robot control architecture, a remote operator station, and an integrated system with proper movement controls.

The author discusses the current basis of the DoD's management and oversight of MDAPs (i.e., their dollar value) and proposes a new paradigm in which the level of management and oversight would be based on the level of risk an MDAP represents. The author also examines the extent to which the DoD is prepared to assess the following categories of risk: technical, system integration, design, production, and business. Finally the author makes recommendations to improve the DoD's ability to assess...

In Department of Defense programs, a system of systems (SoS) is integrated to accomplish a number of missions that involve cooperation among individual systems. Understanding the activities conducted within each system and how they interoperate to accomplish the missions of the SoS is of vital importance. A mission thread is a sequence of end-to-end activities and events, given as a series of steps, that accomplish the execution of one or more capabilities that the SoS supports. However,...

This paper models the vertical integration of an 'upstream' monopolist who sells an 'intermediate' good to firms in a contestable 'downstream' market. The downstream firms combine that good with other inputs--according to a production function with U-shaped average costs--to produce a 'final' good which is sold to consumers at minimum average cost. The paper has two main themes. The first is to compare the incentives for and results of vertical integration in the case where the upstream market...
