Algorithms for the detection of transient signals (transients) in passive sonar data are developed in this report. The algorithms<br />
are tested for both sonar buoy data <strong>and</strong> towed array data of a frigate of the RNLN. The results show that submarine transients can<br />
be detected at low signal-to-noise ratios. For data that was recorded by Saclantcen in the Kyparissian gulf it is shown that biological<br />
transients can also be detected at low signal-to-noise ratios. If a system is going to be developed to assist a sonar operator in a<br />
practical way with the detection <strong>and</strong> classification of submarine transients, classification algorithms have to be developed to distinct<br />
the interesting submarine transients from the non-interesting biological transients, as it was experienced that the latter can<br />
be present in abundant amounts.<br />

There is a growing need for tools that support the instructional designer in performing his task. Several tools have become<br />
available on the market during the last year. These tools support the instructional designer to some extent. However what is lacking<br />
is a well-balanced tool to cover (cognitive) task analysis <strong>and</strong> a tool that is not only aimed at Computer-based Training but also<br />
on other forms of instruction (classroom instruction, simulator instruction, etc.). During the project a demonstrator tool is developed<br />
that supports the instructional designer during various stages of the instructional design process. The prototype is developed<br />
by order of the Royal Netherl<strong>and</strong>s Airforce. Main goal of the project is to support the RNAirforce to formulate a new vision <strong>and</strong><br />
policies concerning educational development. Therefore the goal of investigation is to make clear which dem<strong>and</strong>s of tools for<br />
instructional development need to be specified in order to develop education more effective <strong>and</strong> efficient.<br />

Controls Over Copyrighted Computer Software<br />

Copyrighted computer software programs are used on as many as 377,500 microcomputers throughout the DoD. DoD does<br />
not maintain records on the number of software programs on h<strong>and</strong>, but the proliferation of computers within DoD suggests that<br />
millions of software programs may be in use. Federal copyright law grants copyright owners exclusive rights to duplicate or distribute<br />
the programs. Although software vendors attempt to control unauthorized use of their products through licensing agreements<br />
that invoke the protection available under copyright statutes, compliance with licensing agreements relies on the integrity<br />
of the software user. The audit objective was to determine whether policies <strong>and</strong> procedures for controlling <strong>and</strong> using computer<br />
software programs within the DOD were adequate to ensure compliance with licensing agreements <strong>and</strong> copyrights. We also evaluated<br />
applicable internal controls.<br />
