Background


In 1997, MITRE reviewed the ITO Human Systems Integration
area
In 1998, MITRE asked to review the following areas of the ITO
research program:
– CORBA-related projects in all of ITO but focusing on Quorum (C&N)
– Other Quality of Service projects in Quorum
– Intelligent Systems & Software:
Evolutionary
CORBA:Other

Reason for Assessment




ITO research is resulting in demonstration systems that are
being used in various places
Would like to facilitate transition mechanism of projects
– ITO -> ISO( -> ACTD) -> JPO -> DISA
– May not go through all steps
Difficult for ITO PMs to make all connections with appropriate
ISO PMs
Difficult for ISO PMs to identify those ITO projects applicable
to their program

Improve the Technology Transition Path
(concluded)



Benefits to ISO
– Quick reference to research being conducted that can
potentially transition into programs
– Identify appropriate PMs, PIs to include in discussions
– Determine holes in the program not being addressed by
research program
– Identify commercial solutions that may solve the need
Benefits to ITO
– Get feedback on transitionability of projects
– Get feedback on how to improve research
– Identify holes for potential new research areas
Benefits to both
– More efficient mechanism than having every PM trying to
connect with correct PIs

Assessment Approach


Two-sided approach
- ISO/DoD program technical requirements
- ITO project assessment
ISO program requirements
- Rely on current, published knowledge
- Rely on MITRE personnel, when available
- Talk with DARPA PMs and contractors as appropriate

09/10/97 10:08 AM
Approach (concluded)

ITO project assessment
- Technology description
- Applicability to program requirements
 To fill a technological need
 To demonstrate a potential operational solution
- Maturity
 Paper/theoretical (e.g., algorithm analysis)
 Prototype (laboratory vs. demonstrated vs. tested)
 Operational (freeware or component of commercial
product)
- Applicability to development cycle in a prospective ISO
new start (for EDCS)
- Heuristics for assessment of projects

Heuristics for Assessment of Projects






When did project start? If new start, probably not ready.
If a restart or change in direction, probably not ready.
Prototype available yet?
Extent of prototype, I.e., versions, applications being built by
universities? Industry?
If set of tools, general maturity of individual tools and
integration?
Used in any EDCS integration efforts?




These are preliminary findings
Study undertaken in necessarily breadth-first fashion
If you have additional information or question where your
project is wrt maturity level or technical or lifecycle judgment,
please contact me
Intended as a continuing process for technology transition
- Provides feedback to ITO PMs on benefits of research
program
- Provides ISO PMs quick access to upcoming research
