Came across the MITRE Corporation last night while surfing around. They are a government think tank, and they know TPMs and have for a while. From their website:
"About MITRE The MITRE Corporation is a not-for-profit organization chartered to work in the public interest. As a national resource, we apply our expertise in systems engineering, information technology, operational concepts, and enterprise modernization to address our sponsors' critical needs. MITRE manages three Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs): one for the Department of Defense (known as the DOD Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence FFRDC), one for the Federal Aviation Administration (the Center for Advanced Aviation System Development), and one for the Internal Revenue Service (the Center for Enterprise Modernization). MITRE also has its own independent research and development program that explores new technologies and new uses of technologies to solve our sponsors' problems in the near-term and in the future."
TPMs have been the subject of research in the Center for Enterprise Modernization. Link follows:
Go to the link and do a search for TPM. They apparently have been researching them since 2003. There have been a number of presentations on the topic.
The Center for Enterprise Modernization's principal customers include: Internal Revenue Service Department of the Treasury U.S. Customs and Border Protection Department of Homeland Security Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Census Bureau ***********************************
Hope this bodes well for a speedy adoption of TPMs by the government.
