Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms
The Joint Publication 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms sets forth standard US military and associated terminology to encompass the joint activity of the Armed Forces of the United States. These military and associated terms, together with their definitions, constitute approved Department of Defense (DOD) terminology for general use by all DOD components

This bibliography lists 550 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system in November 1979
Air Traffic Management Abbreviation Compendium
As in all fields of work, an unmanageable number of abbreviations are used today in aviation for terms, definitions, commands, standards and technical descriptions. This applies in general to the areas of aeronautical communication, navigation and surveillance, cockpit and air traffic control working positions, passenger and cargo transport, and all other areas of flight planning, organization and guidance. In addition, many abbreviations are used more than once or have different meanings in different languages.
In order to obtain an overview of the most common abbreviations used in air traffic management, organizations like EUROCONTROL, FAA, DWD and DLR have published lists of abbreviations in the past, which have also been enclosed in this document. In addition, abbreviations from some larger international projects related to aviation have been included to provide users with a directory as complete as possible. This means that the second edition of the Air Traffic Management Abbreviation Compendium includes now around 16,500 abbreviations and acronyms from the field of aviation

Joint Publication 1-02
The Joint Publication 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms sets forth standard US military and associated terminology to encompass the joint activity of the Armed Forces of the United States. These military and associated terms, together with their definitions, constitute approved Department of Defense (DOD) terminology for general use by all DOD components. This publication supplements standard English-language dictionaries and standardizes military and associated terminology to improve communication and mutual understanding within DOD, with other federal agencies, and among the United States and its allies

Cognitive Models and Computational Approaches for improving Situation Awareness Systems
2016 - 2017The world of Internet of Things is pervaded by complex environments
with smart services available every time and everywhere. In
such a context, a serious open issue is the capability of information
systems to support adaptive and collaborative decision processes
in perceiving and elaborating huge amounts of data. This requires
the design and realization of novel socio-technical systems based on
the “human-in-the-loop” paradigm. The presence of both humans
and software in such systems demands for adequate levels of Situation
Awareness (SA). To achieve and maintain proper levels of
SA is a daunting task due to the intrinsic technical characteristics
of systems and the limitations of human cognitive mechanisms.
In the scientific literature, such issues hindering the SA formation
process are defined as SA demons.
The objective of this research is to contribute to the resolution
of the SA demons by means of the identification of information
processing paradigms for an original support to the SA and the
definition of new theoretical and practical approaches based on
cognitive models and computational techniques.
The research work starts with an in-depth analysis and some
preliminary verifications of methods, techniques, and systems of
SA. A major outcome of this analysis is that there is only a limited
use of the Granular Computing paradigm (GrC) in the SA
field, despite the fact that SA and GrC share many concepts and
principles. The research work continues with the definition of contributions
and original results for the resolution of significant SA
demons, exploiting some of the approaches identified in the analysis
phase (i.e., ontologies, data mining, and GrC). The first contribution addresses the issues related to the bad perception of data
by users. We propose a semantic approach for the quality-aware
sensor data management which uses a data imputation technique
based on association rule mining. The second contribution proposes
an original ontological approach to situation management,
namely the Adaptive Goal-driven Situation Management. The approach
uses the ontological modeling of goals and situations and
a mechanism that suggests the most relevant goals to the users at
a given moment. Lastly, the adoption of the GrC paradigm allows
the definition of a novel model for representing and reasoning
on situations based on a set theoretical framework. This model
has been instantiated using the rough sets theory. The proposed
approaches and models have been implemented in prototypical systems.
Their capabilities in improving SA in real applications have
been evaluated with typical methodologies used for SA systems. [edited by Author]XXX cicl
