Distributed Information and Signal Processing (DISP)

Colorado Engineering, Inc., a small woman owned business is going to develop a distributed processing architecture for an extensible, distributed application that can be utilized to detect information of interest in all types of data. The key distinguishing characteristics of the architecture will be distribution of the detection tasks to a set of subscribed PCs and/or FPGAs on a network (including the Internet or a Local Area Network) and the use of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to facilitate inclusion of new and improved algorithms. This proposal will demonstrate and evaluate the feasibility of the proposed architecture through development of a prototype implementation of the architecture. Feasibility analysis will focus on the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, the ease with which new and improved algorithms can be included in the activities, and support for the required user configuration options. Proposed Phase I objectives include: high-level and detailed design of architecture components, prototype application development, feasibility analysis, and Phase II plan development. The proposed architecture will support effective distributed activities using easily-extended algorithms.
