A Report of the NRL Technical Metrics Workshop 2008
Abstract
A Technical Metrics Workshop was developed by the NRL Acoustics Division and held at NRL Stennis Space Center, MS, from April 29 to May 1, 2008. The primary goal of the workshop was to identify state-of-the-art technical and scientific metrics needed by the acoustic and oceanographic research and development communities. Secondary goals were to relate scientific/technical metrics to engineering and operational performance metrics, and to outline the propagation of errors and uncertainties using metrics variability. Thirty-eight presentations were given, representing participation from four U.S. Navy commands, six universities, and four private sector corporations, with foreign participation from the UK. This report summarizes the presentations, discussions, and conclusions of the workshop. It will serve as a useful reference for building consistent technical metrics within the ocean and acoustic research and development communities, as well as providing common guidance for measuring exit and milestone criteria and for quantifying the contributions of interdisciplinary projects.
