Project Description:

This project will support Dr. Marlon Pierce as a Syracuse University
employee working on-site at ASC in support of NPAC's Info/Comm
activities.  

Project Objectives:

Syracuse is undertaking a number of fairly large-scale projects which
fall into the Info/Comm area.  These are complex projects which in
general require a significant amount of interaction with MSRC and PET
staff as well as users to bring to fruition.  Having an on-site staff
member knowledgable in, and contributing to these projects will
greatly facilitate their timely and successful completion.

Deliverables:

Pierce's primary duties will include (but not be limited to):
o Work on Syracuse and other PET activities under the direction of
  Geoffrey Fox and David Bernholdt in consultation with PET
  management.
o Facilitating technology transfer from Syracuse into the ASC MSRC
  environment. 
o Facilitating communications between ASC MSRC and PET staff and
  Syracuse-based researchers.
o Seek out new opportunities for Syracuse technologies and expertise
  to contribute to the ASC MSRC PET program.

Customers/End Users:

ASC MSRC and PET programs

Benefit to Warfighter:

The warfighter will benefit indirectly from the enhancement of
Syracuse's ability to contribute to the PET program.

Project Dependencies and Scope:

Pierce will be involved to a greater or lesser degree in all NPAC
projects which are active at ASC, however we do not forsee any project
being singularly dependent on him -- in his absence, all work can be
completed by Syracuse-based staff (allowing for the lost effort).

Risk Element:

We are still in the process of trying to hire Pierce, though signs are
good that he will accept if we can extend the offer fairly soon.
