SECNAV Energy Executive Education Series
(Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA., 2013-09-03) Cebrowski Institute for Innovation and Information Superiority
Two SECNAV Energy Executive Education seminars are offered at NPS in 2013: 14-19 July and 22-29 September. Participants are selected and invited by the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. The purpose is arm senior Naval leaders with an understanding of energy issues so they can lead the culture change needed to improve Naval combat capability in the next decade.

Cyber Adventurers, A Pipeline from Middle School to College
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School., 2013-06-28) Cebrowski Institute for Innovation and Information Superiority; Cebrowski Institute
At the Naval Postgraduate School's Cebrowski Institute, we have designed a new program called Cyber Adventurers to support an ongoing learning community to excite students with the magic and beauty of computing, and to support more general efforts to interest students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors. We are currently working with local teachers and community leaders in Salinas and Monterey, CA, to create a student pipeline from middle school, through high school, to college.

Fleet Numerical, Meterology, and Oceanography Center (FNMOC)'s Top Three OCO Issues Paper (May 4, 2011) cites three areas of work raised by the METOC Enterprise Architecture Team (MEAT) to be implemented in the Ozone Widget Framework (used in Command and Control Rapid Prototyping Continuum or C2RPC) and interface with GeoServer, LDAP, WEAVER, and the Subscription Broker.
Collaborative IT Tools Leveraging Competence in Hastily Formed Networks
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School., 2013-06) Pavlou, Paul; Cebrowski Institute for Innovation and Information Superiority
This research focuses on the role of collaborative Information Technology (IT) technologies to enhance the effectiveness of hastily formed networks (HFNs) at the group level. Collaborative IT technologies are an integrated set of functionalities that enable collaboration among interconnected entities. Despite their widely touted potential to enhance various types of planned and ad hoc networks (e.g., HFNs), we still know little about whether, how, and why these IT technologies can support HFNs, especially in complex, information-intensive environments that characterize most Naval operations.
Tides@NPS, Making the Connections From Response to Recovery Through Research
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2017) Miller, Scot; Higgins, Sue; Cebrowski Institute for Innovation and Information Superiority; Cebrowski Institute
The Cebrowski Institute leads the TIDES projects at NPS in collaboration with TIDES and Dr. Linton Wells II. TIDES is established for the purpose of providing open-source knowledge in order to encourage community and individual resilience to natural and man-made disasters, and promote human security; which is freedom from want, and freedom from fear. By providing a reach-back of knowledge, it integrates multiciplinary approaches to achieve unity of action in an environment where there is no unity of control. How does it work? Projects identified as natural or man-made disasters, or human security, needs to be supported through a high-level support and coordination so that links are established between both national, public-private, and international knowledge and best practices. Our coordination team builds up the knowledge sharing and collaboration activity.
The Android Smartphone as an Inexpensive Sentry Ground Sensor
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012-04) Schwamm, Riqui; Rowe, Neil C.; Cebrowski Institute for Innovation and Information Superiority; Computer Science (CS)
A key challenge of sentry and monitoring duties is detection of approaching people in areas of little human traffic. We are exploring smartphones as easily available, easily portable, and less expensive alternatives to traditional military sensors for this task, where the sensors are already integrated into the package. We developed an application program for the Android smartphone that uses its sensors to detect people passing nearby; it takes their pictures for subsequent transmission to a central monitoring station. We experimented with the microphone, light sensor, vibration sensor, proximity sensor, orientation sensor, and magnetic sensor of the Android. We got best results with the microphone (looking for footsteps) and light sensor (looking for abrupt changes in light), and sometimes good results with the vibration sensor. We ran a variety of tests with subjects walking at various distances from the phone under different environmental conditions to measure limits on acceptable detection. We got best results by combining average loudness over a 200 millisecond period with a brightness threshold adjusted to the background brightness, and we set our phones to trigger pictures no more than twice a second. Subjects needed to be within ten feet of the phone for reliable triggering, and some surfaces gave poorer results. We primarily tested using the Motorola Atrix 4G (Android 2.3.4) and HTC Evo 4G (Android 2.3.3) and found only a few differences in performance running the same program, which we attribute to differences in the hardware. We also tested two older Android phones that had problems with crashing when running our program. Our results provide good guidance for when and where to use this approach to inexpensive sensing.
Cebrowski Institute Brown Bag Luncheon
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-06-26) Guttieri, Karen; Gunderson, Chris; Cebrowski Institute for Innovation and Information Superiority; Cebrowski Institute
Karen Guttieri and Chris Gunderson participated in the DARPA workshop on Strategic Collaboration in SSTR/HADR in Arlington, VA and presented the NPS inventory of strategic capacity. The workshop used a team approach to develop solutions to Disaster Relief with specific concentration in the themes of semantic glue, ad hoc networking, mobile computing, human network performance, mensuration, and system level issues.
