dear MADEFAST associate:
the following is a text version of the PowerPoint slides
i prepared for Pradeep Khosla's MADE program briefing yesterday.
rich riesenfeld also prepared a project flow graph and text
notes to go with the diagram (text version for easy email)
to be forwarded separately.
this message and the two following msgs bring you up to date on
"published" thinking about MADEFAST. EIT and CDR will build
a WWW-Mosaic project status page by next week. when it is
ready (this will be a living document of the project), it will
be found on the CDR homepage.
http://cdr.stanford.edu/
your comments and suggestions are solicited. it is assumed that
the cost of this experiment will be born largely by our existing
grants. Pradeep implied that some "experiment specific" funds
MIGHT be available (to be determined).
thanks for your interest,
larry
------------------------ text of 3 bullet charts follow ----------------
these plans are based on a local working group meeting that
included: Glenn Kramer (EIT), Tom Gruber (KSL), Richard Fikes (KSL),
Larry Leifer (CDR), Mark Cutkosky (CDR), George Toye (CDR), and
Charles Petrie (CDR).
SLIDE-1
What:
paradigm for collaborative R&D integrating ARPA-MADE
community members holding related but different foci
(require funded projects to talk to and depend on eachother)
Why:
demonstrate the power of a new R&D infrastructure that includes:
university research
industry development
government technology programs
and the enabling internet services
Deliverable:
on-line engineering notebook for project mgt. (WWW)
functional IRFPA subsystem prototypes
white paper: describe what we did and delineate new R&D opportunities
MadeFast experiment documentation
Vision:
demonstrate technology and reveal technology gaps
coordinate collaboration amongst diverse specialists
dual use: diverse, distributed, cost driven, cycle time dependent.
SLIDE-2
IRFPA redesign scenario:
Assume IRFPA for civilian police or DEA use
Develop a typical mission profile
Draft design and mfg. requirements
Launch multiple design alternatives responding to mfg.
capability
CNC technology
MD* shape deposition mfg
Fiber composites
Comparatively simulate and model the candidates
Prototype strong candidates
Capture Design, Mfg. and Coordination Knowledge
Document the MadeFast Experiment
Technical content
Project coordination (especially Internet usage)
Deliver documentation
CDROM "original" documents and files
WWW-Mosaic for browsing
Video to dramatize the story
