Advanced automation in space shuttle mission control
The Real Time Data System (RTDS) Project was undertaken in 1987 to introduce new concepts and technologies for advanced automation into the Mission Control Center environment at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The project's emphasis is on producing advanced near-operational prototype systems that are developed using a rapid, interactive method and are used by flight controllers during actual Shuttle missions. In most cases the prototype applications have been of such quality and utility that they have been converted to production status. A key ingredient has been an integrated team of software engineers and flight controllers working together to quickly evolve the demonstration systems

Real Time Data System (RTDS)
Information is given in viewgraph form on the Real Time Data System (RTDS). The goals are to increase the quality of flight decision making, reduce and enhance flight controller training time, and serve as a near-operations technology test-bed. Information is given on the growth of RTDS; flight control disciplines; RTDS technology deployment in 1987-1989 and 1990-91; a functionality comparison of mainframes and workstations; and technology transfer activities
Nonlinear photoluminescence spectra from a quantum dot-cavity system: Direct evidence of pump-induced stimulated emission and anharmonic cavity-QED
We investigate the power-dependent photoluminescence spectra from a strongly
coupled quantum dot-cavity system using a quantum master equation technique
that accounts for incoherent pumping, pure dephasing, and fermion or boson
statistics. Analytical spectra at the one-photon correlation level and the
numerically exact multi-photon spectra for fermions are presented. We compare
to recent experiments on a quantum dot-micropiller cavity system and show that
an excellent fit to the data can be obtained by varying only the incoherent
pump rates in direct correspondence with the experiments. Our theory and
experiments together show a clear and systematic way of studying
stimulated-emission induced broadening and anharmonic cavity-QED.Comment: We have reworked our previous arXiv paper and submitted this latest
version for peer revie
