Metrics and Methodologies for Evaluating Technologies for Intelligence Analysts

August 21, 2006
Author(s)
Emile L. Morse, Michelle P. Steves, Jean C. Scholtz
In this paper we discuss the evaluation methodologies and metrics we have developed for ARDA's Novel Intelligence for Massive Data (NIMD) program. We discuss the challenges of developing methods and metrics in a situation where software components that

Overview of the First Advanced Technology Evaluations for ASSIST

January 31, 2006
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Brian A. Weiss, Michelle P. Steves, Ann M. Virts, Michael O. Shneier, Michael Linegang
ASSIST (Advanced Soldier Sensor Information Systems Technology) is a DARPA-funded effort whose goal is to exploit soldier-worn sensors to augment the soldier s recall and reporting capability to enhance situation understanding. ASSIST is separated into two

Metric Mapping Concepts for TIA

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Jean C. Scholtz
In this paper, we present a metrics framework and the underlying concepts that were used to help structure a series of evaluations of software tools to support intelligence workers with their data filtering and analytic processes. The deployment of the

The AMIS Approach to Systems Integration: An Overview

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
Donald E. Libes, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno, David Flater, Michelle P. Steves, Evan K. Wallace, Allison Barnard Feeney
This paper is an overview of the AMIS (Automated Methods for Integrating Systems) project approach to systems integration. The objective of the AMIS project is to reduce the cost and time for software integration by devising methods, algorithms, and tools

A Framework for Metrics in Large Complex Systems

March 1, 2004
Author(s)
G A. Mack, K Lonergan, Jean C. Scholtz, Michelle P. Steves, C R. Hale
The Terrorism Information Awareness (TIA) was initiated by the Information Awareness Office (IAO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). TIA capabilities enable the detection, classification, identification, and tracking of terrorist

The Challenges of Automated Methods for Integrating Systems

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Donald E. Libes, David Flater, Evan K. Wallace, Michelle P. Steves, Allison Barnard Feeney, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr.
Automated methods for integrating systems (AMIS) have been presented as a new approach to solving the dilemmas of multiple and uncoordinated standards, ontologies, legacy systems and the ever-growing cost of traditional integration. This paper explores the

Model-Driven Integration Using Legacy Models

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Michelle P. Steves, Donald E. Libes, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr.
The paper describes a model-driven method of systems integration using legacy models. The method defines relationships between elements of legacy models to produce an implicit ontology of a subsystem. The implicit ontologies of subsystems to be integrated

Viewing Technologies for CAD Models

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Simon P. Frechette
This report describes Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model-viewing technologies1 used to support CAD-model review and analysis. CAD model viewers are tools that allow engineers and other users to view CAD models from distributed locations, often using

Concepts for Automating Systems Integration

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Allison Barnard Feeney, Peter O. Denno, David W. Flater, Donald E. Libes, Michelle P. Steves, Evan K. Wallace
The problem of software systems integration getting independently developed software components to communicate in order to support a business application has been altered by the introduction of new software technologies, but by no means eliminated. NIST

Looking at the Whole Picture: A Case Study of Analyzing a Virtual Workplace

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
Michelle P. Steves, Emile L. Morse
Evaluating collaborative systems is much more difficult than evaluating single-user systems due to the number of simultaneous (synchronous) or intertwined (both asynchronous and synchronous) interactions. The types of data that can be gathered are diverse

A Manufacturing Collaboratory Case Study - Companion Document

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
E E. Wierba, Amy Knutilla, Michelle P. Steves
This report summarizes a case study of a collaborative tool intervention within a geographically-distributed, product-development team of an automotive parts supplier. This report serves as a companion document to a larger, more detailed volume, prepared
