SAMEPAGE is both a systematic approach to training and a computer-based instructional delivery system. It is designed to develop and maintain shared understanding (SU) between team members, so they can gain a decisive edge in executing synchronized team/mission tasks. Procedures are designed to help teams to establish SU early and maintain it throughout mission execution; yet if lapses occur, to facilitate regaining SU quickly. It is currently being applied to facilitate coordination among government, military and non-government organizations in Western Africa. Learn

This project addresses the problem that affordable current and on-the-horizon processors do not incorporate sufficient computational resources to host entire applications; applications must be re-factored by hand to derive components to run on trusted hardware. The Secure Division Toolset eases the transition of software onto secure coprocessor hardware by providing innovative tools that automate the partitioning process. A state-of-the-art program slicer is leveraged to split software components in a manner guaranteed to be correct, to provide high levels of security, and to allow dynamic execution of the code without compromising its integrity.

Police Personnel Allocation Manuals (PAMs) were developed for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by the Center for Public Safety at Northwestern University in 1991. The computerized version of the Personnel Allocation Method (PAM), developed in this project, provides a sophisticated and defensible allocation method to agencies that otherwise would be constrained in their abilities to manage patrol effort effectively, identify requirements, and justify requests for additional personnel to perform their missions. This system can now be downloaded at no cost from an NHTSA web site. Learn More
