... The workshop was held at the Keck Center of the National Academies, 500 Fifth Street NW, Washington, D.C., on September 24-25, 2015. Approximately 30 ­ eople, p including speakers, members of the DMMI standing committee, Reliance 21, invited guests, and members of the public, participated in the two-day workshop to discuss ways to lower costs and shorten production time in defense systems while bringing materials and manufacturing alternatives into the tradespace.

... The plan ning committee's role was limited to planning and convening the workshop. The views contained in the summary are those of individual workshop participants and do not necessarily represent the views of the workshop participants as a whole, the planning committee, or the National Academies.

... Johan de Kleer, Palo Alto Research Center, introduced self-aware systems that can maintain their own models and can examine and make adjustments to achieve desired outcomes. Digitization of Data A central theme of the workshop consisted of the notion that data should be converted to digital form so as to be more widely and efficiently used.

... Use of Adaptable Systems As designers and engineers consider improving defense capabilities for the future, an important question arises: Can new technologies simply be inserted into existing platforms? Paul Collopy, University of Huntsville, Alabama, and Goerger emphasized that transforming the supply chain and injecting new technologies into existing modular systems substantially shortens the process from operational, to concept demonstration, to deployment.

... Though McGrath admitted that these metrics are affected by acquisition practices, acquisition would not be the central focus of the workshop. McGrath explained that the agenda, primarily focused on systems engineering, would begin with a high-level discussion of modeling frameworks; would progress to a deeper, more technical discussion of modeling issues relating to uncertainty and change propagation; and would return to a high-level conversa tion in the final panel discussion.
