A Summer in Rear-view - Joe

NASA Ames Report:

In progress of developing a framework for NextGen aviation technology studies.  This framework will investigate the integration of highly-necessary NextGen technology into current aviation policies.

modeling for optimization:

Objectives:
[min] false alarm rate
[min] distance travelled
[max] granularity
[min] look-ahead time
[min] safe spacing distance
[min] crashes
[min] conflicts

Decisions:
num planes
homogeneous airspace {true, false}   /    num types of planes
num runways
percentage RNP
granularity
look-ahead time
safe spacing distance
[psych] scenario level {SC1, SC2, SC3, SC4, SC5}
[psych] function allocation {FA1, FA2, FA3, FA4, FA5}
[psych] cognitive control model     {OPP, STR, TAC}

California Trip:

In addition to visiting NASA Ames campus, I've visited several other sites as well:
 - Google
 - Stanford
 - Vegas
 - Los Angeles
 - San Francisco
 - Golden Gate Bridge
 - Napa Valley Area

Looking Ahead:

Before end of 2013:
- Finish NASA Aviation Project
- "Upgrade" GALE into GALE2.  That means identify current quirks with GALE1 and clean them out to enhance performance.
- Integrate NASA project into GALE2 for testing.

Spring 2014: 
- Finish Ph.D.
