With appreciation (and apologies) to the fabulous CS Research Topic generator on Dr. Douglas Comer's site at Purdue...
In Government research, just as in the realms of academic research, it can be daunting to discover and properly scope the important research problems.
Similarly, it often seems that some of the most meaningful Government research can be easily cancelled or overlooked if it does not have a catchy title or description that includes terminology of contemporary interest.
To remedy this situation, I've followed the inspirational example of the CS Research Topic generator in an effort to ease the burden of discovering and naming new and valuable research efforts.
This table includes contemporarily interesting terminology:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| active | aids |
| adaptive | agents |
| advanced | applications |
| agent-based | approaches |
| architecture-agnostic | architectures |
| augmented | assessments |
| cognitive | battlespace |
| collaborative | capabilities |
| complex | common operating picture (COP) |
| composable | concepts |
| comprehensive | conditions |
| cooperative | decisions |
| critical | designs |
| cultural | displays |
| distributed | environment |
| doctrinal | execution |
| executable | exercises |
| functional | grids |
| high-tempo | influences |
| integrated | interfaces |
| intelligent | mechanisms |
| interoperative | mechanics |
| mixed initiative | methods |
| net-centric | models |
| non-kinetic | networks |
| operational | operations |
| passive | planning |
| practical | platforms |
| predictive | procedures |
| reasoning | processes |
| reliable | prototypes |
| secure | rules of engagement (ROE) |
| semantic | social networks |
| simulated | spectrum |
| strategic | standards |
| tactical | systems |
| transformational | structures |
| virtual | techniques |
Create a phrase by stringing together one or two terms randomly selected from Column 1, and one term randomly selected from the Column 2 Create a second phrase using the same method, and glue the two phrases together using one of these glue terms:
for
