This paper makes a distinction between measurement at surface and deeper levels. At the deep levels, the items measured are theoretical constructs or their
Knowledge and the way it is represented have a tremendous impact on the capabilities and performance of intelligent systems. There is evidence from studies of
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has created a set of reference test arenas for evaluating the performance of mobile autonomous robots

The degradation of concrete pavements is often controlled by the transport of a deleterious species (chloride or sulfate ions, or water in the case of freeze
In recent years, the use of fiber-reinforced vinyl ester and isophthalic polyester (isopolyester) composites in civil infrastructure has greatly increased, due
We discuss the multi-speaker tasks of detection, tracking, and segmentation of speakers as included in recent NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluations. We consider

Tests of a novel concept for tracking construction components were carried out at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The approach makes use of
We model a load using an artificial neural network (ANN) to improve an on-wafer line-reflect-match (LRM) calibration of a vector network analyzer. The ANN is
A detailed uncertainty analysis for NIST's pulse parameter measurement service is presented that represents the new pulse parameter measurement and extraction
