HR001117S0039 Abstract 4

Official Transmittal Letter (optional) [If desired, attach an official transmittal letter from the prime proposer organization.]

Executive Summary Slide [Using the slide template provided as Attachment 1 to the BAA, provide a summary in PowerPoint that effectively and succinctly conveys the main objective, key innovations, expected impact, and other unique aspects of the proposed project. Include the PowerPoint slide as a separate attachment to this document.]

Description of Problem Space and Technical Plan [Provide answers to the following questions:

· What is the proposed problem area?

· What are the current challenges in the stated optimization problem?

· How general is the problem space within the existing optimization divisions?

· Does the problem have the potential of broader applicability?

Outline the optimization and modeling strategy. Describe the approach for dealing with high-dimensionality and computational cost of the proposed problem space. Provide a comparison of the proposed approach to the state of the art in terms of metrics such as computational advantages in scalability, convergence, and provable bounds in optimality. Justify the applicability of methodologies across a broad range of problems beyond the proposed applications. Provide appropriate measurable milestones (quantitative if possible) at intermediate stages of the project to demonstrate progress, and a plan for achieving the milestones.]

Capabilities/Management Plan [Provide a brief summary of expertise of the team, including subawardees and key personnel. While teaming arrangements do not need to be finalized at the time of abstract submission, mention of potential teaming/collaboration arrangements is highly encouraged. Identify a principal investigator for the project and include a description of the team’s organization including roles and responsibilities.]

Cost and Schedule [Provide a cost estimate for resources (e.g., labor, materials) and any subawardees over the 18 months of the program, broken down by Government fiscal year.]

Bibliography [Provide a brief (no more than 2 pages) bibliography with links to relevant papers, references, reports, resumes of key team members, etc.]
