A technical operation or procedure that consists of determination of one or more characteristics of a given product, process or service according to a specified procedure.
My current research interests are in developing tools aimed at improving the efficiency of the National Airspace System: these include techniques for the collection and processing of data, mechanisms for the allocation of airport and airspace resources to airlines, and algorithms for the scheduling and routing of air traffic. I am also interested in the design of algorithms for the tracking and managing identities of maneuvering targets in sensor networks, particularly the air traffic management system of the United States.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) portfolio of programs had a goal of compressing the development timelines for new complex cyber-physical systems by at least five-fold. With AVM, DARPA pursued the development of several elements of enabling infrastructure aimed at radically transforming the systems engineering / design / verification (META), manufacturing (iFAB), and collaborative innovation (VehicleFORGE) elements of the overall "make" process for modern defense systems. Each of these infrastructure capabilities was largely gen
The original goals of this project were to take an existing open surgical robot testbed (the RAVEN robot), and to create a robust infrastructure for cyber-physical systems with which to extend traditional real-time control and teleoperation concepts. This is done by adding three new interfaces to the system:
