Thunderbirds to the rescue!
Isn't this exactly the scenario posited by the early '60's Brittish marionette show "Thunderbirds"?
Why not just short-circuit the call for papers and spend the US$100 or so for all the T-Birds episodes on DVD, watch them and then let the bacon contracts fly? Cheaper than funding new research, and the requirements are already well defined: after all, all the "DOs" and "DON'Ts" are already laid out in the T-Birds plots...
