ROLANDS & ASSOCIATESJTLS Interface Team
JOSE M TORRES
EDUCATION:
- B.S., Computer Engineering, University of California, Santa Cruz
Mr. Jose M. Torres is responsible for the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of the JTLS Web-Enabled capabilities. The applications include the user interfaces such as the Web Hosted Interface Program (WHIP), the JTLS After Action Review capability named the Total Recall Interactive Playback Program (TRIPP), and the underlying framework that allows communication to the Combat Events Program (CEP). Currently Jose is working on a new WHIP component to view and track the status of an Air Tasking Order as it executes within the model.
He has been at R&A since May 1st of 2006.
STEVE TANG, Ph.D.
EDUCATION:
- Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, Pennsylvania State University
- B.S., Atmospheric Physics, Peking University
Dr. Steve Tang is a software engineer on the JTLS WHIP team. His primary focus is the design, development, testing, and maintenance of all of the Java user interface applications used by the JTLS project. Currently he is expanding the TRIPP, which is the primary AAR, workstation for JTLS. This expanded capability will provide framework from which any JTLS user can create their own AAR queries and design their own reports to summarize results.
Dr. Tang is also the technical lead for the Naval Postgraduate School POWer project. He is responsible for this Python-based software development project. He is working directly with professors at NPS, to test, maintain, and document this simulation software.
JANE WU
EDUCATION:
- M.S., Math/Statistics, University of Texas, Austin
- B.S., Mathematics, Kenyon College
Ms. Jane Wu has recently returned to the JTLS WHIP team. When Jane started at R&A she was placed on the user interface team. Because of her ability in developing Java-based tools, she was transferred to the NPS contract to work at TRAC-MTRY. While working under this contract, Jane was responsible for data pre-processing and post-processing for the Cultural Geography Model (CGM) simulation. Her most recent focus was to develop a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application that processed the raw survey data, performed statistical analysis, and built case files as part of data input for the CGM. She also developed and maintained a GUI application that processes the output data from the CGM. The application combines output data from various sources, reducing it according to a user's specific needs, performs statistical analysis on the resulting data, and draws a 7-day average time series graph.
Jane is now helping create a analysis workstation for JTLS. This new project is envisioned to create an open development framework providing all JTLS users access to existing analysis reports and the ability to create new analysis reports. This new workstation will be built to look and operate in a manner similar to the current JTLS WHIP.
GREG SULLIVAN
EDUCATION:
- A.S., Computer Science, Monterey Peninsula College
- A.S., Electronics, Monterey Peninsula College
Mr. Greg Sullivan is responsible for the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of serialization algorithms within the Cultural Geography Model (CGM) for Irregular Warfare Analysis at TRAC-MTRY located at the Naval Postgraduate School. His primary focus is to establish the permanence and restoration of the CGM, at designated time intervals, represented in the Extensible Markup Language (XML), for the analysis and manipulation by its end users. Mr. Sullivan assists in the development of functional enhancements that improve representing Urban Cultural Geography capabilities.
