Demo schedule (Revision 26: October 15, 1998)



Completion date Tasks
September - weeks one and two

(September 3 - September 9)

DONE Daniel : Send database contents with explanation to Lockheed-Martin
DONE Ron : Snap-to roads (i.e., map a point to the closest point on the closest road)
DONE Shankar and Jiang : Research differential GPS, determine accuracy of our GPS units, and select error-correction method for demo
DONE Bob : Playback mode for audience map
DONE Bob : Integration: phase one: Add gateway to SORD, make SORD use correct network device, allow one agent to query multiple Smart databases, retrieve complete document text from Smart databases, write out document text for clustering software, use bitmaps for objects on audience map, test Metricom radio modems, test clustering software, integrate GPS into soldier's GUI, enhance the agent_jump timeout (in D'Agents core), and develop installation procedures
September - week three

(September 17 - September 23)

DONE Everyone : Return Gateway laptops to Bob
DONE George, Daniela and Dave : Find volunteers to run the laptops during the demo
DONE Lockheed : Suggest "interesting" queries
DONE AlphaTech : Comment on audience and soldier GUI's
DONE Bob : Extend Alex's SQL agent to allow queries that involve multiple database fields
DONE Robert : Integrate SQL query GUI into main soldier GUI
DONE Shankar and Jiang : Implement GPS error-correction scheme
DONE Alex Iliev : Finish tracker
DONE Bob : Integration: phase two
DONEAdd buildings to audience map
DONE"Gray out" tracks on GUI if laptop out of contact
DONEIntegrate Ron's snap-to roads,
DONEMake hypothesis tracker load the map correctly
DONEMake hypothesis tracker read the message times correctly
DONETest hypothesis tracker
DONEAdd timeout to Mike's wireless_jump
DONESwitch all jumps to Mike's wireless_jump
DONEMake Mike's wireless_jump handle agents that go to and from the wired network (i.e., jump to the gateway machine if you are trying to cross the boundary)
DONEAdd hypothesized tracks to audience map
DONEIntegrate GPS error correction
DONE Daniel and Bob : Determine range of Metricom's (in the Hanover environment) and choose positions for the vehicle observers
September - week four

(September 24 - September 30)

DONE Alex Iliev : Add playback mode to tracker (e.g., write events to persistent store on one run, and then playback at real-time speed on a later run)
DONE Dave : Get walkie-talkies
DONE George : Call campus security and Hanover police and explain demo to them
DONE Bob : Test SORD over RoamAbouts
DONE Bob : Test SORD over Metricoms
DONE Bob : Install necessary software on arrest-team laptops
DONE Bob : Install necessary software on observer laptops
DONE Bob, Daniel, Robert, Brian and Hiro : Test vehicle-observation phase
DONE Bob, Daniel, Robert, Brian and Hiro : Test arrest-team phase
DONE Bob : GUI enhancements based on AlphaTech feedback
DONE Everyone : Final list of queries
October - week one

(October 1 - October 7)

DONE Bob, Daniela, George and David : Start demo presentation
DONE Alex and Bob : Add tracking code to "interesting" agents
DONE Everyone : Dry run one: Vehicle-observation phase
DONE Everyone : Dry run one: Arrest-team phase
DONE Bob : Fixes: first round: Less aggressive "graying out" of out-of-contact laptops; single script that starts everything; memory leak in router agent; more extensive testing of GPS error-correction subsystem
October - week two

(October 8 - October 14)
