Internet Tools for Sharing Unmanned Vehicle Information
Gage, Douglas W.; May 1994; 9 pp.; In English
Report No.(s): AD-A422537; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A02, Hardcopy
Using Mosaic and other emerging Internet toots, a user at a workstation or personal computer attached to the Internet can
find and access multi-media information hosted on server systems anywhere in the world, using an intuitive "point and
shoot" interface in a windowed environment. The power of these systems derives from clever structuring of the
databases, so that any server can "point" to data hosted by any other server. This presentation provides a brief
introduction to the terminology and user interface paradigms of the World Wide Web, and conveys a feeling of how simple
it is to "publish" (as well as access) information in these modes. Evolving DTIC/IAC and other WWW/Gopher
resources in robotics and related fields are identified, and the possible roles and implications for the Unmanned Vehicle
community of these decentralized, highly distributed public information sharing tools are discussed.

The report provides a summary of the intrusion detection research completed for this effort. The research studied how to
build cost-sensitive and light weight intrusion detection models. The main technical components of the research are: 1)
Automatic feature construction by analyzing the patterns of normal and intrusion activities computed from large amounts of
audit data. 2) Using cost-sensitive machine learning algorithms to construct intrusion detection models that achieve optimal
performance on the given (often site- specific) cost metrics, cluster attack signatures and normal profiles and accordingly
construct one light model of each cluster to maximize the utility of each model. 3) Dynamic (re- ) configuration of the light
models to make an IDS effective and efficient, and resilient to IDS-related attacks. Algorithms and prototype systems were
developed and extensive experiment using DARPA datasets and other real-world datasets were conducted. The results showed
that the technologies developed in this project are more advanced and better than today’s state-of-the-art.

A Study of Information Exchange Between USA Air Force Bases and Their Surrounding Communities
Clewett, Andrew C.; Mar. 2004; 147 pp.; In English; Original contains color illustrations
Report No.(s): AD-A422614; AFIT/GEM/ENV/04M-06; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A07, Hardcopy
Data, information, and knowledge are exchanged daily from USA Air Force (USAF) bases to surrounding communities.
The purpose of this research is to aid managers and commanders in gaining a better understanding of their information flow
and bettering their information management practices. The research specifically seeks answers to the questions of where
information is exchanged, why information is exchanged, and to whom information is exchanged with.
