DART3: DHS Assistant for R&D Tracking and Technology Transfer

Cyber security systems are comprised of a wide variety of interconnected systems. If these individual systems are not sufficiently designed and implemented to work well when integrated, additional opportunities for adversaries to hide and attack are created. To better enable researchers to broaden their scope and work together, they must be able to explore research in other areas and work across disciplines to create standards for communication and systems that work synergistically. This paper describes Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant for Research and Development Tracking and Technology Transition (DART3), a web-based semantic tool and repository designed to capture US federally funded research and development (R&D) project descriptions and R&D requirements to facilitate technology transitions.
