Solicitation Question: How can new mathematical frameworks enable paradigm shifting problem formulations that better characterize complex systems, stochastic processes, and random geometric structures?

Scope: The COMPASS ARC Opportunity seeks proposals that leverage new mathematical frameworks to develop novel problem formulations for Defense applications. Of particular interest are problem formulations that exploit recent mathematical advancements in complex systems and modern probability (e.g., graph signal processing, random geometric graphs, graphons, mean field theory, McKean-Vlasov processes, random matrices/tensors, rough path theory, stochastic partial and ordinary differential equations on manifolds, stochastic geometry, etc.) to address one or more of the following problem classes:

• Heterogeneous and multiscale behavior in large systems or networks.
• Stochastic processes in dynamic, random, or information-limited environments.
• Random geometric structures in high dimensions.

Examples of relevant DoD application areas include, but are not limited to, supply chains, infrastructure or human systems, distributed networks, resource allocation, contested communications or sensor networks, intelligence analysis, multi-domain operations (e.g., air, land, maritime, space, and cyberspace), mission planning, information domain awareness, target tracking, or swarming and cooperative control.

There will be a workshop on this call for proposals on March 5th. Registration is required.
