  DARPA’s Intent-Defined Adaptive Software (IDAS) seeks technologies to make DoD Software adaptive for ever-changing military mission demands

  

  The Department of Defense (DoD) is highly dependent on software. The increasing complexity and scale of this software is creating new attack surfaces for adversaries and reducing the DoD’s ability to react to new threats. Some examples of these complex software systems are  as software used in airplanes, logistics, satellites, …

  Virtual design and construction (VDC ) is being used by companies around the world to improve business performance objectives like keeping projects on time and on schedule.

  

  Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a service that uses digital tools to create virtual models of buildings. These digital models are then evaluated before ground is even broken, allowing project teams to optimize the way a building is constructed. This advanced technology provides opportunities to greatly improve the construction …

  New Machining trends and technologies to improve efficiency, lower operating costs, greener solutions and higher precision for tasks. 

  

  Machining is a family of processes. Machining common features are the use of cutting tools to form chips that are removed from the work-part. In manufacturing, metal parts frequently require machining. The cutting action itself is a shear deformation on the work-part. Machining can be applied to a wide variety …
