NASA Intelligient Systems Program

• Tried hybrid systems; failed on dynamics
• Tried SoS; failed on scaleability

Feedback on approach

• Basic areas and approach are good
• SoS certification is definitely of interest
• Lots of potential on where these things will be needed
  • Nonlinear => need SoS
  • Reconfigurable => CPU allocation, etc
• Broader audience: ready to listen when things are ready to use
  • Tried SoS, had some seminars, but it didn't really click
  • Still at the level where there was lots of tweaking and tuning
  • Current level is at very simple level; didn't scale to real problems
• Need to make sure that there is sufficient contact with industry
  • Internships are tricky; have to be hired and fired
• Industry sabbaticals?
