small disadvantaged business (SDB). We focus on research and development
in the physical, engineering, life sciences, social sciences and humanities. Our
goal is to create a world class think- tank of women and minority scientists and

VVV's principal business is consulting to address research problems and to

deployment services and create joint intellectual property for end-to-end
projects. When appropriate, we can engage trusted business partners.
Drawing from our combined backgrounds, our technical resources include
Systems Engineering, Knowledge Management, Knowledge Discovery, Data
