Matt Carbone
* General Logistics Coordination for East Coast CRNR team both leading up
to
and during the exercise.
* Set up Cisco Aironet Wireless Network system for uplink from refugee
camp to CMOC.
* Work with Roman to set up fiber/ethernet media converter hub in NPAC to
establish access to Internet 2 services.
* Record, Digitize, and Compress Video of Events for upload to web/crnr.
* Webmaster for event documentation, and Strong Angel page on Mindtel
site.
* General knowledge of ALL tech that will be present or displayed,
network, wearable...
* Can integrate other tech that we encounter into our systems. In
right environment, can integrate outside tech on the spot.
* Can troubleshoot all tech, network, wearables, etc.
* Already developed proof of concept prototypes that demonstrate
technologies that are needed in strong angel realization story
(nurse
running around saving people in refugee camp).
* Can/Will/Want to live in conditions and surroundings to design
implementations for cyberization..
* With realtime experience, current prototype development would be
greatly enhanced. This is why I want to go, and what I want to
really contribute in. Making the current way of doing things
evolve using tech. I'd also like to focus on the individual, and how
they
access the global amounts of data.. Check the site above for more
info on that.
Equipment:
* Components of created wearables system..
1. 2-3 VR headsets and needed accessories (batteries, cable, etc) for
each.
2. X10 units, and needed accessories (batteries, cable, etc) for
each.
3. Black and white camera for Night vision, or Night vision capable
camcorder.
4. FM broadcaster circuit. (I built one)
5. Laptop with wireless internet.
How to get stuff there:
Wearable equipment is small enough to be placed in luggage/carry ons, or
it could be shipped with the other equipment.

Why:
I would like to attend the Strong Angel exercise for two specific reasons:
- It is an opportunity to witness the DMI model in action, large
scale, for the first time. I would like to conduct research that will
evaluate the success of the model's implementation and identify successes
and areas for improvement for subsequent exercises.
- It is an opportunity to participate in furthering the mission of
the Center. Solid participation from the Center will result in increased
credibility and our being able to participate more richly in future
exercises. At this scale, it will be a big step toward changing the way
information is received, viewed, and used in order to effect outcome.
Contribution:
Having been working on the distributed medical intelligence project at
multiple levels, and from many perspectives, I am interested in evaluating
the flow of information throughout the Strong Angel exercise. Given the
numerous participating organizations, and assumed tech vendors testing
equipment, I would like to develop measures to evaluate the flow of
information between participating organizations, between teams and between
technologies. I would like to use the following measures to document the
mission:
Ethnography - I would like to complete an ethnographic study of the entire
event. CRNR could later use the final report as publicity material, web
page content and proposal content for subsequent, similar exercises.
Interview - I would like to capture information about technologies,
activities and communications by interviewing participants from the
participating organizations and vendors as well as refugees. This paper
could be valuable in revealing weaknesses, communication and technological
breakdowns in this application of DMI as we prepare for subsequent
exercises.
As we write a proposal for a National Library of Medicine information
system, I clearly see how a very similar system could be a significant
element among knowledge sources any DMI scenario. I would specifically
like to consider this systems applicability in a Strong Angel like
scenario, among existing technologies and information tools. My final
paper would incorporate discussion of the experiences of participants as
well as the pros and cons of our proposed NLM system in this scale
environment.
Photography - If allowed, I would like to document the exercise and CRNR's
participation photographically.
Equipment:
I prefer to travel light. I expect to bring my own 35mm camera, a hand
held tape recorder, tapes, pens and paper.

why / contribution
humanitarian effort
disseminate the conceptual dmi framework detailing the possibilities of an
integrated information knowledge matrix - not only within the framework of
the the camp but potential scalability
test prototypes and concepts [developed both @ home and on the fly]
prototypes would be working models [efficiency, reliability, usefulness,
etc] and appearance models[human factors, speed/efficiency, etc]
storyboard hypothetical what if 's for dmi's future - wearables,
holographic
surgery assistant, abilities to see within the body or body overlays of
internals, wound scanning/analysis, noninvasive sampling, laying hands
glove, walkabout info display, potential pma devices, tracking ..... etc
...prototypes...?..!...
learn
excellent first hand medium scale relief effort - ability to learn the
interactions [or lack thereof] between people, between people and
hardware,
people and information ... also great input for NLM
get footage great exposure for us but also great fodder for future
endeavors
- stills video audio - great opp to stage prototype shots - real
backround.
what i need
to be there
comp - not exclusive - but pref a mac [graphic app - continual
optimization]
therefore a printer
toolkit -
modelling supplies foams epoxies etc..
hows it going to get there
shipped or carry on [can be if shipping presents a problem]
