DARPA’s Command Post of the Future program has used experimentation as a vehicle for understanding the impact of new technologies on the command and control process. To ensure that experimental goals, of something as large or complex as a research program or as simple as a single experiment

that the performance ratio of our method can never be as bad as 3/2, and is in fact bounded by 4/3 on the entire class of instances where the c(MST)/c(MRST) cost ratio is exactly 3/2. Sophisticated computational geometry techniques allow efficient and practical implementation, and the method is naturally suited

of stresses) is a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. 2. Human and natural systems tend to adapt autonomously to gradual change and to change in variability. 3. Human systems can also plan and implement adaptation strategies in an effort to reduce potential vulnerability or exploit

% Dumb money -Page 8 of their initial asset value. To simplify, we assume that the flows all occur at the end of the quarter (thus the capital gains earned by the funds are not affected by these inflows). Thus in the counterfactual world the technology fund would receive (.20)*(10) = $2 B (giving

Ptolemy is an environment for simulation, prototyping, and software synthesis for heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (in C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. The objectives of Ptolemy

the implementation. Our procedure begins with a timed specification and a delayannotated gate library description which must include 2-input AND gates, OR gates, and C-elements, but optionally can include higher-fanin gates, AND-ORINVERT blocks, and generalized C-elements. Our procedure first generates a technology

Battle rhythms are ubiquitous in military operations, but current methods for implementing them have not kept pace with the changes affecting military organizations. Visual Battle Rhythm (VBR) is a software prototype which updates the battle rhythm process with modern technology and careful

Technology Transfer (T2) Centres have become a very important medium in the transportation sector both nationally and internationally especially with regard to bridging the divide between technology development and its practical implementation. Since October 2002, the Council for Scientific
