The meeting began at approximately 7:45AM with preliminary remarks by Paul Nielson regarding use of the SEI facility. Introductions of the attendees followed, prior to the first presentation by Professor Janet Kolodner, which was entitled "The Potential of Learning Technologies & Imagining the Future of Education".

Professor Kolodner, who is currently “on loan” at the NSF from Georgia Tech, gave a spirited presentation with numerous examples of the application of technology that has the potential to stimulate accelerated and deeper learning, principally amongst adolescents. She engaged members of the TCM in conversation of various aspects regarding the learning process with adolescents prior to focusing on her NSF program, “Cyberlearning: Transforming Education”. During this part of the discussion, she advocated bringing a stronger technology component into the classroom, some with very advanced concepts, with the goal of teaching students to be learners, to be inquisitive, and to experience both success and failure as part of the learning process. Examples provided included geogames, biosourcing, data sharing, idea evolution, remote online labs, virtual worlds, teaching writing and augmentation with peer review, and analytics for adaptive teaching.

Professor Kolodner’s presentation concluded at approximately 9:00AM.

At 9:00AM Tom Irvine presented the Chairman’s Report and Review of Subcommittee Membership. He noted that the Chair, Andy Amram, has recently changed positions within the Aerospace Corporation, and now has less flexibility regarding her support of the TCM. It is expected that Andy will convert from active status to alumnus. Consequently, Tom, the TCM Co-Chair, will be functioning in the capacity of Chair, time and travel constraints permitting. The discussion of Andy’s situation resulted in a more detailed discussion of travel limitations, and the notion that some organizations have limitations for travel for single-purpose activities, and that for some members combining multiple business objectives into a single trip is required for travel approval.

Tom proceeded to discuss the TCM charter and the TCM organization chart. The discussion of the organization chart brought out the following points:

We need to establish a liaison back to AIAA Corporate Membership through Merrie Scott We need members to support the Program Committee Paul Collopy volunteered to co-chair the Operations Committee The primary role of the Conference Committee is to support Complex Aerospace Systems

Exchange (CASE) There was a discussion of the Special Projects Committee, its role in writing position papers, etc. It was pointed out that the TCM is part of the Engineering and Technology Management

Technical Group, along with several other TCs. These TCs have become increasingly active.

We discussed CASE at some length, discussed the fact that the word “innovation” is becoming overused, and Rich Raiford queried whether the TCM should do something as a committee regarding innovation (e.g., management has a role to play in terms of creating top cover so that new ideas can survive challenge).

At 9:40AM, Tom Irvine presented the action item list; there was minimal discussion of the specific AIs.

At 10:00AM, three guests arrived as follows:

Mike Romanowski, OSTP Allen Li, House S&T Committee J.T. Jezierski, House S&T Committee

Their biographies are provided at end of the minutes. Following introductions, the guests spoke individually in the order referenced above. Since some of the speakers specifically asked that their comments were “off the record”, no specific are provided in these minutes. General topics included:

Technology development and transition NextGen Air Transportation System Unmanned Aircraft Interagency coordination Partnerships between R&D organizations, the government and industry Cost pressures and the need for efficiency The “brain drain”

Following the guests’ departure, at 11:15AM we returned to the discussion of CASE lead by Tom Irvine. A brief summary of the history behind CASE was provided, following a discussion of the plans for this August. It was pointed out that CASE was set up to address industry needs relative to Systems Engineering and Program Management. The targeted audience includes Program Managers and Chief Engineers from major programs, and the goals are to make CASE a learning experience and a networking opportunity for these types of engineers. There are three tracks (Project Management, Test and Evaluation, and Engineering), and the conference runs for 2 ½ days. Moving forward for the next CASE Executive Workshop in August, we need:

Read ahead material (case studies) Identified speakers Organized break-out sessions

We discussed the status of read-ahead material, which is being prepared by Wilson Felder. He expects to have it ready early for attendee read ahead. John Dowdle put forward Steve DiTullio of Draper Laboratory as a speaker, who can provide a system of systems view of the Navy’s Fleet Ballistic Missile system.

Following this discussion, members had lunch and then proceeded with the afternoon’s agenda.

At approximately 1:00PM Tom Irvine continued the discussion of the CASE Executive Workshop.

The format will be a panel discussion followed by breakout into three groups, corresponding to the three tracks (engineering, program management, evaluation). Each of the breakout groups will require a skilled facilitator (perhaps the track chair, such as Anna McGowan) and a scribe. The scribe will document the discussion, and provide the write-ups to the CASE attendees the next day, preferably through electronic media such as email. The discussion write-ups should serve as a point of reference throughout the CASE event.

Tom Irvine, Tom Beutner, and Wilson Felder anticipate attending the workshop.

We discussed participation at CASE itself. The event needs more participation from the propulsion community and more attendees from DARPA. Specific potential attendees are Iris Curtis, Harry Berman, Owen Brown, Paul Weinraub, Barry Boehm, Earl Wyatt, and perhaps some folks from SEI. The planning committee should invite Steve Walker to speak at CASE.

Carol Cash agreed to ask the planning committee for the Joint Propulsion Conference to pursue co-locating CASE with JPC in 2014.

Following the discussion of CASE, Wilson Felder presented the Membership Committee Report.

Two members of the TCM are still at AIAA Senior Member grade. These members should be nominated for Associate Fellow. There was no specific discussion of nominations for Fellow.

The focus of discussions on the second day of the TCM meeting was cyber-security and related issues.

The meeting began at 8:10AM, with remarks by Paul Collopy, followed by introductions of the members to the first guest, Charlie Croom. Charlie is Vice President of Cyber Security at Lockheed Martin. We had

a very interesting and engaged discussion regarding cyber-security. It was agreed that his remarks were off the record.

At 9:45AM, Nader Mehravari of SEI presented a discussion entitled “Mission Assurance through Active Resilience Management”. He talked about the connection between an organization’s mission, critical assets, and an operation resilience approach that enables the organization to manage risk of mission failure through protection and sustainment of critical assets.

The last discussion of the day began at 10:35AM, with Ted Baker, Program Director in NSF’s Division of Computer and Network Systems, providing an extemporaneous discussion of cyber-physical systems related work under his guidance at NSF.

Following Professor Baker’s discussion, the TCM adjourned at approximately 12:00PM.

Action Items Summary

During discussion of TCM Mission and Organization Chart, the following AIs arose:

The TCM organization chart needs to be updated The TCM needs to establish a liaison back to AIAA Corporate Membership through Merrie Scott The TCM needs members to support the Program Committee

Rich Raiford queried whether the TCM should do something as a committee regarding innovation (e.g., management has a role to play in terms of creating top cover so that new ideas can survive challenge).

During the discussion regarding CASE, Carol Cash agreed to ask the planning committee for the Joint Propulsion Conference to pursue co-locating CASE with JPC in 2014.

He is currently an Adjunct Professor at Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Cornell University and Syracuse University. He also currently serves as the chair of the Advisory Council for Cornell University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Ted Baker

Dr. Baker retired from the Florida State University in December 2011. He is currently employed as a Research Professor at the Florida Institute of Technology, from which is assigned to work as a Program Director in the Division of Computer and Network Systems at the National Science Foundation under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. Dr. Baker's recent primary research interests are the analysis of real-time scheduling algorithms for multi-processors, and incorporating device drivers into real-time schedulability analysis. Professor Baker's first research was in theoretical computer science. His best known work is this area is related to the P=?NP question and polynomial-time relative computability. He has also published research in pattern matching and parsing algorithms,

compilation techniques, and in real-time programming languages, scheduling and operating systems. Starting in 1979, Professor Baker became involved with the development of the the Ada programming language. A group he organized at FSU (including Professor Riccardi) produced one of the first validated Ada cross-compilers for embedded systems. After the completion of the FSU/AFATL Ada compiler project, Professor Baker concentrated on problems connected with using Ada in real-time embedded computing applications, focusing on the Ada runtime environment, and how to produce systems that verifiably meet hard timing constraints. This work was supported by contracts from several sources, including the Boeing Companies, the U.S. Army (Fort Monmouth), and U.S. Navy (ONR, NRL/STARS-Foundations, NCSC). It has involved design, implementation, and testing of a series of runtime systems that are suitable for use in multiprocessor shared-memory environment, as well as the FSU Pthreads library.

In 1991, as Domain Expert for the real-time systems and systems programming for the Ada9X Mapping-Revision Team, Professor Baker played a significant role in drafting the real-time systems and systems programming sections of the Ada 95 reference manual, which was adopted in 1995 as the international standard for the Ada programming language.

Concurrent with his work on Ada, Professor Baker has done research on real-time scheduling, worst-case execution time prediction, and concurrency control. Some of this work was done in collaboration with graduate students. His contributions in this area include the Stack Resource Protocol (SRP), algorithms for scheduling sporadic and aperiodic tasks in a deadline scheduling environment, and techniques for analyzing the feasibility and schedulability of arbitrary sporadic task systems on multiprocessor platforms. From 1998 to 2002, Dr. Baker served as Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Florida State University. Under his leadership, the department implemented what may be the first ABET-accredited distance learning degree program in Computer Science, approximately doubled in faculty size, and more than doubled its external research funding. A part of this growth initiative was development of a research group and graduate educational program in information assurance, including computer security and cryptography. For this development, the department was recognized in 2000 as a Center of Educational Excellence in Information Assurance.
