Standards-Driven Application Development for Workforce Mobility

Tomorrow’s Bethesda AFCEA Breakfast meeting, https://www.signup4.net/Public/ap.aspx?EID=NOVE97E&TID=xhh5zkXBjYekK9OB0rp3Kw%3d%3d, is about application development within the Federal Government, a very relevant topic.

We are finding that the amount of reach-out to AMARC, www.amarcedu.org, from the Government relating to the creation and utilization of app-stores for Government utilization continues to increase.

Federal News Countdown Stories – Mobile Apps, Continuous Monitoring, Confusion Around Intell Review Leadership

  • by

Last Friday, I was on the Federal News Countdown on WFED, hosted by Francis Rose, along with Steven Bucci, Director of the Douglas & Sarah Allison Center and Senior Fellow for Defense & Homeland Security at The Heritage Foundation.

Here is the link to the broadcast: http://www.federalnewsradio.com/156/3425850/Federal-News-Countdown-New-DHS-contract-standardizes-cyber-protections-DoD-cuts-force-lower-sights-on-drones.

The way the News Countdown works is that each of the guests talks about their third most important story of that week relating to the Federal Government, then the second and finally the most important.

The following are the three articles I selected plus some additional comments.

Everything Without Wires

One of the great things about teaching classes is how much one learns from the students.

I have been teaching a capstone graduate class at the University of Maryland University College, UMUC, http://www.umuc.edu/, about the Management of Technology and Innovation for a number of years. One of the running threads culminating in a discussion in the last session (which ended yesterday) relates to future technologies.

One of the threads this year focused on wireless technologies. One of the students linked to a product called Twine from a company called Supermechanical, http://supermechanical.com/. Twine is basically a sensor box, with some coming standard built-in and some requiring additional purchase and snap-on.Everything Without Wires
