Afterwards he was selected for the exchange scientist program and spent a summer working for DASA Aerospace in Wedel, Germany 1993. His initial research also made a major contribution to the M1A1 barrel reshape initiative that began in 1995. Shortly afterwards he was selected for a 1 year appointment to the United States Military Academy West Point where he taught Mathematics. Following these accomplishments he worked on the SADARM fire and forget projectile that was finally used in the second gulf war. Since that time, circa 2002, his studies have focused on unmanned systems

The interview design was based on the modern view ofgrounded theory that emphasizes understanding through interpretation5. Creswell6 described theapproach as social constructivism, where the research intent is on making sense of meanings thatothers have about the world. It is an appropriate paradigm for studying instructors’ perspectivesof assessment and their interpretation of assessment results because of the strong relationshipsbetween the instructors and their unique instructional contexts. Notes from an initial interviewwere analyzed and new graphs were proposed. In a second analysis, investigators compared thenew graph options and

The tasks are based on Software Development Life-Cycle(SDLC) phases. These phases are planning, implementation, testing, documenting, Deployment,and maintenance.

In this regard, recently, MITtook an initiative along with researchers and academics around the world to form aconsortium to discuss on major developments in this area and come up with a broaderframework for remote experiment developments. This will streamline future developmentsthrough a modular design of system components with pre-determined inputs/outputs for eachmodule. This kind of approach will foster intractability between the systems, ability tohandle different kinds of experiments, and sharing of resources to maximize the use ofavailable resources.Creating manpower that can support the development and maintenance of Internet accessibleremote experimentation is essential for this area.
