320603 - Gary made good progress today on applying greater share of eight steps
320604 - using SDS for Communciation Metrics by providing feedback to follow up
320605 - on recent work configuring the ACE intranet system to support M&S. An
320606 - example is entering dates in communication for orientation on
320607 - chronology that imparts knowledge of cause and effect. ref SDS 0 M36R
320608 - Notice is submitted that intranet improvements will support using SDS.
320609 - ref SDS 0 M44S Gary proposes providing Communication Metrics support
320610 - for fewer meetings in order to enhance intranet support that will
320611 - strengthen Communication Metrics by supporting traceability to
320612 - original sources, which is a key metric for ensuring accuracy of

321001 - Received copy of ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary to Steve, who seems to be a
321002 - new player, other than Gary's boss. Initially, thought this was the
321003 - letter planned on 040529, ref SDS 10 ID9T, and later on 040602, to
321004 - Gary's boss, ref SDS 11 I67K, but this seems to be a different Steve.

321006 - [On 040621 Gary reports the addressee was intended to be his boss,

321014 - my activities on the DPD for the Comm Model Focus Group.

321018 - Gary's letter today provides the "2nd Act" to follow up understandings
321019 - the past few weeks, planned on 040602, ref SDS 11 AG9I, based on
321020 - Gary's letter to the M&S team on 040402, ref SDS 6 TO8V, citing goals
321021 - for using SDS to perform a greater share of the eight (8) steps for
321022 - Communication Metrics. ref SDS 5 Q78J Feedback to follow up is a
321023 - powerful step (see step 8 listed on 001219, ref SDS 1 QO4Q), required
321024 - for working "intelligently," set out in POIMS. ref OF 1 0367

321027 - Who is this Steve -- where does he fit in the management structure?
321028 - Does Gary have a reporting relationship?
321030 - ..
321031 - The copy of the letter to Dilip, ref DRT 1 00W3, reflects his job as
321032 - heading up the engineers for the group. What does this "Steve" do
321033 - that is different from Gary's boss?

360481 - if they can determine the problem and fix it. ref DRT 1 CJ49

360484 - May present an opportunity to contact ACE people who actually "work"
360485 - on the system, and so can support objectives for putting SDS on the
360486 - Intranet to turn on the light of intelligence by activating links.
360487 -
360488 - [On 040621 Gary reports SDS code seems to working correctly, but
360489 - files on the ACE intranet listed in SDS records are not being
360490 - opened; Gary recalled encountering problems during a meeting on
360491 - 040611 to develop improvements to ACE intranet support for M&S,
360492 - which seem similar to problems opening files listed in SDS
360493 - records, and so Cal's investigations and solution to the ACE
360494 - problem, may solve the new problem reported on 040621. ref SDS 13

360507 - 15. Next Steps Require More Work, ref DRT 1 9F4L
360509 - ..
360510 - 16. All elements at the leaves of the DPD structure are documents
360511 - -- spreadsheets, Word documents, PDF documents, etc. DPD
360512 - *objects* have links (references) to other objects or
360513 - documents. The result is that the actual structure can become
360514 - quite convoluted, and is not really easy to modify. The
360515 - structure is a lot easier in theory than in practice. This
360516 - means that we need to be pretty certain of the structure we
360517 - want rather than just starting with some approximation and
360518 - working it into shape. ref DRT 1 9F4L
360520 - ..
360521 - Would be helpful to get a spec on ACE. In a telephone call, we
360522 - discussed working toward a meeting for orientation at the site where
360523 - ACE development is supported, and, while there, meet the engineers who
360524 - perform the work on ACE and DPD.

360527 - expanding contacts for support at Northrup Gruman. ref SDS 14 FR3G
360529 - ..
360530 - Since M&S is a major component of the project, touted by every general
360531 - as the engine of CFISR in public testimony, some extra effort is
360532 - justified to make big expectations a reality, if for no other reason
360533 - than to maintain credibility and public confidence to drive funding.
