Rapid Processing of Positioning Information for Hand-Held Gamma Camera

Not Available The goal of this project is to develop a product which will significantly enhance the capability of commerical off-the-shelf (COTS) RDBMS systems to provide decision makers with the ability to exploit information in a timely manner. The product will enable database users to use advanced technologies to obtain better, more complete answers to queries and to implement effective change management processes. The product is focused on users of complex, dynamic, legacy databases who need advanced information management capabilities to identify and act on changes in critical data. Militaty command and control systems are dominated by legacy, stovepipe databases which yield critical information only to highly skilled database technicians. Similarly, many businesses rely on legacy database systems which contain all of the information critical to running their business. Decision makers seldom understand the capabilities and limitations of the databases, or have the time and skills necessary to extract critical information in a timely manner. This project is to apply active database technologies, query relaxation technologies, advanced human-computer interface technologies, and tools to automatically configure those three technologies to provide intelligent information management. This product can be operated on top of the (COTS) RDBMS and legacy databases and has direct applicability to both military and commerical users.
