NASA/CP-2005-213900, NASA CONFERENCE PUBLICATION: NASA TECHNICAL INTERCHANGE MEETING (TIM): ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LIFECYCLE ANALYSIS SYSTEM (ATLAS) TECHNOLOGY TOOL BOX (JUL 2005)., Proceedings of a Technical Interchange Meeting sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration held in Huntsville, Alabama, November 8–10, 2004. On November 8th through 10th, 2004, Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) hosted Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) in Huntsville, Alabama. The TIM focused on the Technology Tool Box (TTB), a technology database developed for use by Advanced Technology Lifecycle Analysis System (ATLAS). ATLAS models use TTB data to model the impact of investing in different technologies. The overarching goal of the three-day meeting was to improve the TTB by increasing the quantity and quality of technical, cost, and programmatic data on different technologies. This report describes the results of the November meeting, and also provides background information on ATLAS and the TTB.
