Ideally, ISHM methodologies would track the system usage and the associated loads, monitor the system degradation and materials state, monitor relevant environmental parameters and their effects on system degradation, detect insipient system damage, diagnose failure mode, predict future system performance, and recommend maintenance actions. Even though there has been considerable progress in many subareas of ... |

| Discovery in science is the generation of novel, interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge about the objects of study. Literature-related discovery (LRD) is the linking of two or more literature concepts that have heretofore not been linked to produce novel interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge (i.e., potential discovery). Two major variants of LRD are open discovery systems (ODS), where one starts with a problem and generates a potential solution (or vice ... |

| Accurate predictions of enemy course of actions "ECOA" are important to the command and control optimization strategies in long-lasting battles. In most Command and Control "C2" applications, the existing techniques, such as spatial-temporal point models for ECOA prediction or Discrete Choice Model "DCM", assume that insurgent attack features/patterns, or at least the trends of behavior patterns, are static. However, this static assumption is no longer true for intelligent and organized ... |
