These are the projects that the DMC is currently working on.

Get There Texas (GTTX) :

The Digital Media Collaboratory, in a public/private partnership, received a highly competitive grant from the Texas Workforce Commission to create Get There Texas (GTTX). Get There Texas will provide an interactive, participatory website that links students, employers, and educators.

Built on a social networking paradigm, GTTX’s online collaboration tools will connect business and education and improve the alignment of the Texas workforce pipeline for emerging technology-intensive industries. The project will enable employers and educational institutions to stimulate interest and encourage students and adults to pursue careers in new and emerging fields, contributing to the growth of the Texas economy. 

Computer Assisted Dispute Resolution (CADRE):

The University of Texas has partnered with Sandia National Laboratories to develop Computer Assisted Dispute Resolution (CADRE). This flexible modeling and decision support system, based on the cutting-edge TABU search algorithm, focuses on resource management problems. CADRE supports multiple stakeholders in negotiating and building consensus on resource use. CADRE has won awards from government and nonprofit organizations for ongoing work on the Edwards Aquifer in Central Texas. CADRE is currently being applied to water trading experiments in New Mexico.

Extensible C4I Instrumentation Suite (ExCIS) Documentation:

The Extensible C4I Instrumentation System (ExCIS) was developed for the Operational Test Command’s Fire Support Test Directorate (OTC FSTD). The simulation capabilities of ExCIS enable FSTD to conduct operational testing on all Field Artillery / Fire Support (FA/FS) C2 systems. By providing constructive simulations of FA/FS entities from individual sensors and weapons systems to Corps level ExCIS provides a realistic operational test environment for FA/FS C2 systems. The DMC is partnering with the Center for Agile Technology (CAT) to develop User Documentation for ExCIS.

Scenario Manager (FAST)

The Scenario Manager is a tool for creating interactive multimedia applications to be run within the Scenario Engine, a java-based 2D graphics engine for the Microsoft Windows operating system.  Designed for flexibility, the Scenario Manager is ideal for rapid construction of any number of applications including educational exercises, learning evaluation, games and demonstrations.

Neuro-Evolving Robotic Operatives (NERO)

Medical Leadership Trainer (MLT):

The DMC and the Center for Strategic Analysis (CSA) have delivered courseware modules to the Army Training Support Center under direction of the Center for Strategic Analysis in support of the Medical NonCommissioned Officer.  The Medical Leadership Trainer project will provide Army Medical Department Soldiers with distance learning courseware that enables these leaders to train at home, in the field, or at the schoolhouse.  Our initial work for the Basic NonCommissioned Officers course covers Convoy Operations, the Law of War, and Medical Evacuation, among other subjects.
