The original title of this project was "Developing a Methodology for Redesigning Acquisition Processes Based on Information Load Analysis." The new title of this report is slightly different to better reflect the final outcomes of the project. We would like to thank the External Research Acquisition Program coordinators, particularly Mark Nissen, for their relentless and generous support. We would like to also thank the employees of Computer Sciences Corporation and Lockheed Martin as well as the officials from the Department of Defense who participated in this project.
