NEWSMarch 2012Welcome to our new research faculty member, Dr. Dennis McBride, who comes to us from DARPA where he most recently managed programs in command and control. He will serve as an Associate Director of the C4I Center (along with Dr. Laskey, who continues in that role). more.. March 2012 Dr Mike Hieb, C4I Research Affiliate recently received $25,000 from a total anticipated funding of $441,852 from ALION for his project "SIMCI Consultant Services." The initial budget period is 3/1/2012 through 9/30/2012. The anticipated end date is 9/30/16. March 2012 Dr Sam Malek, C4I Research Affiliate and Assistant Professor in Computer Science recently received $499,077 from DARPA for his project "Engineering Highly Adaptive Resilient Software Systems". more.. July 2011 Dr Andrew Loerch, C4I Research Affiliate and Associate Professor in Systems Engineering and Operations Research (SEOR) recently won the 2011 Vance R. Wanner Memorial Award, given by the Military Operations Research Society (MORS). more.. June 2011 Dr. Mike Hieb presented on "Interoperability between C2 and Modeling and Simulation in the Army" at the IDGA C2 Summit, a leading industry C2 Conference. more.. May 2011 Drs. Paulo Costa, Research Assistant Professor in the Systems Engineering and Operations Research Department and the C4I Center, and Kathryn Laskey, Associate Professor also in the SEOR Department and Associate Director of the C4I Center, have received $247,000 from the US Army for the project "Mathematical Fundamentals of Probabilistic Semantics for Higher-Level Fusion." more.. April 2011 Drs. Tod Levitt, Research Professor with the C4I Center, and Syed Abbas Zaidi, Research Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, have received $100,000 from the Office of Naval Research for the project "Operational Laws of the Sea & Rules of Engagement Analysis." more.. March 2011 The Discrete EVent System Specification (DEVS), developed by C4I Center affiliate Dr. Bernard Zeigler, continues to grow as a technical basis for advanced simulation. Recently, CRC Press published a new book built around DEVS: Discrete-Event Modeling and Simulation: Theory and Applications (G. Wainer and P. Mosterman, eds.). March 2011 Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) has awarded the C4I Center participation in the Aggregative Contingent Estimation (ACE) program. A team led by Dr. Charles Twardy and Dr. Kathryn Laskey will receive about $2M/year for 1-4 years for a project to use new techniques to improve forecasting.

RESEARCHThe research program is structured around the command and control process. The process involves production of data and transforming it into information, processing information for decision making , and dissemination of data, orders, information, and control through communication systems. The Center research program is designed in such a way that investigators explore all aspects of this process, as well as the total process. more..
