Collections of sequences of zeros and ones formed of n bits, called codes, are used for representing data to be stored in computer memory or transmitted over an optical cable. In many applications in communications, statistics, and computer science it is beneficial to choose a code that is in some ways uniformly distributed over the set of all the possible binary sequences. These applications have led researchers to define a large group of problems in applied mathematics both on the theory side and in the domain of data processing procedures.

ISR faculty and their students are playing key roles in the University of Maryland and University of Maryland Baltimore County’s (UMBC) new "ARTIAMAS" cooperative agreement with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The five-year agreement—worth up to $68 million—focuses on safe, effective, and resilient capabilities and technologies that work intelligently and cooperatively with each other and humans. The research will span engineering, robotics, computer science, operations research, modeling and simulation, and cybersecurity.

This is an 18-month, $100,000 subcontract to Leidos for Collaborative Decision Making with Time Based Flow Management. Lovell will develop software for simulation and comparison.

The Time Based Flow Management (TBFM) system enables controllers in the Traffic Management Unit (TMU) or Air Route Traffic control Centers (ARTCCs) to manage air traffic on a strategic basis by inputting miles-in-trail (MiT) and other restrictions to derive a time-based schedule for flights arriving into or departing from certain airports.
