Description

Mathematical Systems, Control and Estimation: a New Foundation for Military Command & Control; SN01-05; February 7, 2001; Humphrey's Half Moon Inn, San Diego CA. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has sponsored progressive research in the application of systems and control theoretics to military command and control. Modeling and simulation results, to date, have demonstrated the potential for performance improvements through the application of formal control theoretical mathematics and strategies for battle space management. DARPA is hosting a Technology Display (similar to an Industry Day) to 1) showcase these experimental results and their value to future military command and control, and to 2) introduce current DARPA-sponsored researchers to academic, industrial, and government sectors interested in producing enterprise-level control systems. This Display, a one (1) day event, will be held in San Diego CA at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn (Marina Ballroom), 2303 Shelter Island Dr, San Diego CA 92106, on Wednesday February 7, 2001, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Displays (in a science fair venue) will be provided ONLY by the 15 contractors performing the current research and will highlight progress, to date, in areas such as model predictive control, hierarchical control, Markov decision chains, abstract board games, discrete event controllers, game theoretic optimized controllers, approximate dynamic programming, stochastic optimization, linguistic geometry, emergent behavior, and auction mechanisms, as applied in a military command and control environment. Interested parties should limit their contingents to a maximum of six people. Interested parties may include foreign firms. While security clearances are not required, personnel registration is required. Registration should be forwarded by e-mail to <JFACC_Program@darpa.mil>, subject "Technology Display Registration" and include the name, organization, e-mail address and telephone number(s) of each individual wishing to attend. Registration is due by 1 February 2001. In view of the success of current research efforts, DARPA may sponsor potential future work to address the dynamics of hybrid command and control in the presence of manned and autonomous systems. Interested parties should note that THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL OF ANY KIND, NOR SHOULD IT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
