The U.S. Army’s Communications - Electronics Command (CECOM) has contracted with Drexel University to operate the Applied Communication and Information Networking program (ACIN) in Camden, New Jersey. The primary goal of the ACIN Camden Center’s program for Entrepreneurship in Technology is to enable communications and networking businesses that utilize information technology (IT) developed in ACIN R&D projects to be incubated and accelerated onto a rapid commercialization track. A second objective is to attract and foster growth in private sector companies that are developing new IT-based technologies and products to be used in military and commercial applications.

The project’s objective is to continue the research and development of design methodologies for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). Specifically, this project will research: how to efficiently design MANET in the presence of quality of service (QoS) constraints; the current antenna array and MIMO techniques in MANET and how to use or account for them in MANET design; the applicability of integrating a rough earth model e.g. TIREM into the software developed under this project. The three focus areas researched under this phase of the project will be integrated into the Optimizer for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (OMAN) software suite, which has been developed under the previous two phases of this effort. Furthermore, OMAN’s correct functionality will be validated and reported on, and a user’s manual will be delivered.

Centocor is a Johnson and Johnson subsidiary that specializes in creating biomedicines aimed at treating cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. Drexel University has been contracted to apply pattern recognition techniques to biological data. Advances in biotechnology allow researchers to produced data sets containing hundreds of thousands of measures, and traditional analysis techniques are no longer adequate. At Drexel’s Data Fusion Lab we apply statistical methods, artificial intelligence, data modeling, and clustering tools to these large data sets to interpret the complex processes involved in biomedical studies.

PI:
 
Drexel University, in collaboration with Fairmount Automation Inc., offers to design, construct and maintain a large-scale physical test platform for validation, simulation and visualization of distributed control systems. The platform, which would be the first of its kind and size in an academic institution, would allow Drexel University to engage in several activities that promote research and practice in distributed control for the direct benefit of the US Navy.
SAPIENT
 
Situation-Aware Protocols in Edge Network Technologies

PI:
 
The SAPIENT research program will deliver intelligent network sensing, learning, and reasoning technologies to stabilize the performance of collaborative applications operating on unreliable network infrastructures. By intelligently optimizing protocols despite network instability, the SAPIENT system is expected to enable smooth, near-optimal performance.
