Researchers in Lincoln Laboratory's Informatics and Decision Support Group are developing serious games. Such games provide players with interactive problem-solving exercises that can serve as tools for a variety of purposes, such as idea generation and concept development, operator-centric technology analysis, and experiential learning.    full story

Late this summer when Lincoln Laboratory scientists and engineers log onto the interactive parallel computing cluster, LLGrid, that answers their high performance computing demands, they will be connecting to a data center situated 90 miles away in Holyoke, Mass. The new center offers the technical staff a system six times that of the current LLGrid. The opening of this high-capacity computing facility is the culmination of ten years of research and planning.    full story
