Research Results in First Year
In the first year (May 2006 - May 2007) of its existence, International Technology Alliance has achieved a number of scientific advances. The research output from the alliance has obtained many benefits from the joint working together of the researchers in the two countries. Advances made by the alliance include analysis of cooperative networking in wireless networks, distributed beamforming, and efficient dissemination of information in coalition networks; policy based security management analysis algorithms, a calculus for trust and risk analysis in coalition environments, efficient algorithms to analyze quality of information of sensor data, and a variety of algorithms to associate military missions to sensors. Advances have also been made in human-centric issues, with usage of paradigms such as cultural network analysis.
The alliance maintains a link to its papers that were produced as a result of the collaborative research at its official web-page.
The alliance research had its first successful technology transfer at the close of the first year. The alliance researchers were using IBM message queue family of product to develop an experimental architecture sensor network, when the US army researchers realized that the same architecture might make a good mechanism to interconnect several military sensors. As a result, research work done in UK (which develops the message queue products form IBM)has resulted in an infrastructure interconnecting military sensors for the US army. This technology transfer is viewed inside the alliance as a harbinger of several other technology transfers during the course of the program.

Famous quotes containing the words research, results and/or year:
“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“And year by year our memory fades
From all the circle of the hills.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
