- Description
- ROBUST UNCERTAINTY MANAGEMENT, SOL BAA05-19, Addendum 2, DUE 052305, POC: DR. CAREY SCHWARTZ, DARPA/DSO, Ph: (571) 218-4536. Email: baa05-19@darpa.mil, URL: www.darpa.mil/dso. Website Submission: http://www.sainc.com/dso0519/ The Defense Sciences Office is interested in new proposals for Robust Uncertainty Management (RUM). The RUM Program will emphasize the development of mathematics and algorithms that guarantees performance by design for complex large-scale nonlinear federated systems. The Department of Defense will often integrate a number of large, nonlinear subsystems to form a single system whose purpose is to perform a specific function. The total system is composed of subsystems that are highly interconnected, simultaneously feature weak and strong nonlinear couplings, and are subject to resource constraints. Typically the subsystems exploit different physical properties and mechanisms, and the subsystems will be governed by their own nonlinear dynamics across multiple temporal and spatial scales. By its nature, the system is federated, distributed, and subject to uncertainty arising from incomplete knowledge of initial conditions, reducible errors arising from sensors, irreducible errors derived from modeling the physical system, as well as exogenous disturbances with an unknown distribution. The primary issue is then to guarantee performance of the overall system and provide bounds on the performance of the system in the presence of epistemic and aleatory errors by design. Guaranteeing performance is to be understood to mean that in the presence of partial or incomplete knowledge of the parameters or model describing the system that the values of specific state variables of the federated system can be predicted and maintained within a specified bound. In particular the state variables of interest will be directly associated with the observable metrics of performance for the system.
