... Although this report stresses the need for NRL to recognize the Tongterm nature of its investment in nonlinear science, it is equally important that SPNLS or its successor be evaluated and reviewed on a regular basis. The panel's suggestions for the guidelines to form bow Me mandate and the basis for evaluation of SPICES follow: 22 Maintenance of an internationally recognized experimental, theoretical, and computational research effort in several specific areas of nonlinear science; Fostenng of nonlinear science within N1lL, by informing the staff of relevant recent developments in nonlinear science and by germinating effective collaborations among NEW researchers in both basic and applied areas; Ongoing identification of specific developments in nonlinear science, such as controlling chaos, adaptive pattern recognition, and others mentioned in the previous chapters, which have a potential impact on future Navy needs and technologies, and the coordination of initial efforts to provide proof of principle for the applications of these developments; and Enhancement of contacts by NPL and its researchers with external centers of excellence in nonlinear science.
