Interoperability between different systems is becoming at the heart of modern IT operations. XML is taking an important role in the data exchange between interoperable systems due to its flexibility and richness in data representation. We extend that trend by presenting a model for semantic interoperability with XML. The model is comprised of two parts: semantic representation and semantic mapping. In the semantic representation model we start by analyzing the different types of semantic information that are usually impeded in the data and not explicitly represented. Then we introduce a model to represent this information as XML document called the semantic definition. In the semantic mapping process we define a component called the semantic mapping agent SMA that has an interface that allows it to store different semantic definition and then to map values from one semantic definition to the other.

The Internet has created a vast set of resources available from anywhere in the world, at any time. This virtual information repository also has the potential to serve as a virtual learning environment. It is the goal of this project to create an online classroom, for the purpose of enhancing the learning experience of students from three international universities: the University of Virginia, the University of the West Indies, and Mapua Institute of Technology. All three groups of students are participating in a course called environmental systems analysis, the purpose of which is to teach community-based management of municipal sanitation services. The site serves as a medium for communication and collaboration for the students throughout the completion of their course project, with an overarching goal of creating lasting relationships based on trust and common experiences. It differs from previous similar projects in that it is designed with the needs of financially restricted and less technologically proficient institutions in mind. Full-scale development of this tool was broken up into several components, including background research, user's requirements gathering, prototype design, and testing and revision. The site has been developed using predominantly open-source technologies available to anyone with an Internet connection. Additional deliverables of this project include a detailed user guide containing the specifications and requirements of the system, as well as a section detailing each of the functions within the site. The guide enables those unfamiliar with the technologies present in the Web site to quickly understand their uses and also serve as a guide for any university that wishes to establish its own collaborative learning program. The project is funded in part by a University Teaching Fellowship grant to Prof. Garrick Louis.

The Soldier Tactical Mission System (STMS) requires power to operate, and as the system becomes more advanced it requires even greater power. Currently this power is provided by a consolidated battery pack. This system must be able to manage the power in a way which is advantageous in the environment they are operating in - whether peacekeeping operations or war, in fog or night, in a jungle or a city. The architecture which determines this decision must be fed inputs as to what components provide what value under those circumstances. This research examines this issue with emphasis on the modeling of capabilities of the system with an agent based model to measure not only the value of components but the synergy created by two or more components.

Framatome ANP (FANP) recently merged with Siemens Power Corporation to form one of the world's largest suppliers of fuel assemblies for commercial nuclear power plants. This merger offers the potential for cost reductions and logistical improvements through the integration of FANP's two North American fuel fabrication facilities. According to plan, the current production uranium fuel rods and assemblies at Lynchburg, VA, will move to the Richland, WA, and the current production of spacer grids at Richland will move to Lynchburg. As a result, the number of different grids and the overall throughput of all grids at Lynchburg will double. We describe a simulation study commissioned by FANP to determine the impact of the consolidation at Lynchburg. Discrete-event simulation was applied first to study the existing grid fabrication process. A baseline model was developed that captures current process flows. This stochastic model was calibrated using data collected on the production floor, verified using deterministic line-of-balance calculations, and validated against historical throughput data. The baseline model was then extended to incorporate the new facility layout, equipment additions, and anticipated load. The enhanced model was used to predict potential bottlenecks and to refine resource and process modifications needed to manage the additional load effectively within the fabrication schedule constraints. To provide a tool for continuing operations management, use cases were developed and spreadsheet interfaces were implemented which allow FANP engineers to explore evolving operational scenarios.

The maintenance of pavements, structures and bridges, and other transportation assets has become a challenge for the Virginia department of transportation (VDOT). These challenges include effective allocation of financial resources, communication improvement between upper and lower level maintenance entities in the department, ability to perform cross-asset selection, and incorporation of risk analysis in the decision making process. The center for risk management of engineering systems and the project team have developed a risk assessment and management framework to address these problems. This new methodology, which uses condition (lifetime remaining) and cost as indexes of performance, would allow VDOT to target short-term and long-term goals, and to coordinate for maintenance activities. Indeed, the framework developed will help the department maintain their transportation assets in a more efficient manner and prevent unforeseen failures.

An emerging problem for organizations today is not so much the collection of information and data as it is finding ways to distribute it effectively. The consortium for integrated municipal sanitation systems (CEVISS) exists for the purpose of assuring the capacity for and access to safe, reliable municipal sanitation services to low income and at risk communities worldwide. The success of this endeavor depends on the joint participation of many groups, requiring a central location through which the project can be facilitated. Unfortunately, the technological infrastructure to support advanced information sharing systems is not available to members in remote and third world locations. This project provides the group with a Web-based solution that solves their information sharing and project facilitation needs while maintaining a focus on usability and scalability across international regions with vastly disparate financial and technological resources.

Continuous increases in GMU population have severely strained the parking facilities. Currently, users are upset and frustrated with the lack of convenient parking at GMU. Our objective is to provide ideas to help alleviate the stress on the parking system. After conducting research and evaluation of the current parking system, the following base and advanced alternatives were selected. Base alternatives consist of increasing parking enforcement, providing carpooling incentives, encouraging the use of the CUE bus, and revising the distribution of the schedule of classes' student load. The advanced alternatives are differential pricing and an online auction for purchasing parking decals. For differential pricing, linear regressions were used to find the relationship between the number of decals sold and multiple independent variables. To simulate auctioning, an online auction game was conducted. Using multiattribute utility theory, it was determined that the base alternatives combined with differential pricing has the highest overall utility.

To increase public safety levels in communities, researchers and law enforcement agencies analyze spatial data to reveal crime patterns and relationships. For the past two years, teams of students have worked with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to create a centralized data repository for storing this data. This repository, named the Geospatial Repository for Analysis and Safety Planning (GRASP), streamlines the data collecting process. The system has been successful, yet several drawbacks remain. These drawbacks include cost, response time of queries, lack of security features, unintuitive interface, and the inability to conform to federal standards for storing data. To alleviate these problems, our team changed the database backend of the system, added security settings, developed a visual mapping component, and reformatted the metadata to conform to the federal standards. At the conclusion of the project, GRASP was $6000 cheaper, 97 percent faster, and complied with all federal standards.

Incident reporting is becoming increasingly important in large organizations. Legislation is progressively being introduced to deal with this information. One example is the European Directive No. 94/95/EC, which obliges airlines and national bodies to collect and collate reports of incidents. Typically these organizations use manual files and standard databases to store and retrieve incident reports. However, research has established that database technology needs to be enhanced in order to deal with incidents. We describe the design and implementation of In-Ret, an incident report retrieval system that endeavours to find similarities and patterns between incidents by combining the strengths of case-based reasoning and information retrieval techniques in an integrated system. Preliminary results from InRet are presented and are encouraging.

We propose an intelligent tutoring system, which uses the parameters of learner model for personalizing the essential courseware in a certain field. Pattern analysis amp; understanding has been selected as a platform for both implementing our approach, since it can be applied equally to a wide range of engineering branches, and can, at the same time, be used as a systemic discipline for nonengineering areas as well. The learner style model that has been used in our system is based on Dunn and Dunn, Kolb, and Myers-Briggs theories. Having the learner models of different users, together with the suitable arrangements of the essential courseware, we will show how a case-based reasoning approach based on a process of case adaptation can yield producing a novel courseware arrangement.
