Abstract

The MITRE Corporation provides technical assistance, system engineering, and acquisition support to large organizations, especially U.S. Government agencies. We help our customers to plan complex systems based on emerging technologies, and to implement systems based on commercial-off-the-shelf products. In MITRE's research program, instead of emphasizing concerns of DBMS or CASE vendors, our research emphasizes the issues of organizations who need to use such products. For example, we favor areas where we can build over commercial products, rather than changing their internals.Data management at MITRE goes beyond research, to include technology transition, system engineering, product evaluation, prototypes, tutorials, advice on customers' strategic directions, and participation in standards efforts. We use prototyping to illustrate potential improvements in customer systems, to understand vendors' capabilities, or both. There are close connections with efforts in object management, real-time systems, reengineering, artificial intelligence, and security.This paper emphasizes the research efforts, grouped into five major themes: information integration, security and privacy, active and responsive systems, metrics, and digital libraries. For each theme, we list the major questions being explored, and identify projects and contacts for further information.
