Further, how difficult would it be to install a custom defined device into the OSSIE environment so that it could be used in the OEF as part of a waveform application?

Currently, the legacy OSSIE Waveform Developer (OWD) allows creation of new nodes or node configurations (each “node” consists of a directory, by default located under /sdr/nodes/. Each node directory contains device manager XML files that specify the set of devices available at that node). OWD can be used to create nodes that use existing devices (this would include new devices that you develop, once they are built and the binary and XML files are installed in the appropriate directories under /sdr/).

Lab 7 provides an example of creating and using a new node configuration. We are adding this feature to OEF. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
