Important Distinction in Development Path
§Approach vs. Design vs. Model vs. System
□Approach = first step in identifying industry best practices and tailoring them to meet the requirements of a V2V/V2I environment for preventing, detecting, and mitigating security risks.  Deliverable due in Fall of 2011.
□Design = second step that structures the technical elements into a representative prototype. Deliverable due in Spring 2012.
□Model = third step that combines the technical prototype with organizational and operational elements the results in a representative system to test and evaluate in real world environment. Deliverable due in Summer 2013.
□System = last and final step is to combine test results with prototype model to understand the requirements/specifications for an operational system. Deliverable due in Fall 2013.
