DoD operates many system high enclaves with limited information ow between enclaves at di erent security levels. Too often, the result is duplication of operations and inconsistent and untimely data at different sites, which reduces the e ectiveness of DoD decision support systems. This paper describes our solution to this problem as it arises in installations of the Joint Maritime Command Info...

Achieving agile Command and Control in Maritime Operations requires composeability the ability to construct responses “on the fly” to queries about a given situation, by discovering and drawing upon the appropriate resources from among the vast collection of resources existing on a distributed network. Although net-centric architectures such as FORCEnet provide the necessary connectivity and co...

The growing economic and ecological damage associated with biological invasions, which will likely be exacerbated by climate change, necessitates improved projections of invasive spread. Generally, potential changes in species distribution are investigated using climate envelope models; however, the reliability of such models has been questioned and they are not suitable for use at local scales...

It is an understatement that both the theory and applications of probability –conditional or unconditional – play an essential role in the processing and use of disparate information in decision-making in C4I systems. Apropos to the theme of this symposium, “Making Information Superiority Happen”, the paper outlined here describes new applications, insights, and theoretical aspects of ongoing w...

The lectin pathway of complement is considered to be the most ancient complement pathway as inferred from identification of ancient homologs of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs) in some invertebrates. MBL homologs with galactose selectivity and an MASP3-like sequence also occur in bony fish, linking the evolution of the lectin complement pathway from inver...
