"This proposal investigates using a knowledge acquisition system called The Discovery MachineT to allow subject matter experts to construct critics to evolve software. As storage, memory, and processing speeds increase there is a push to evolve morecomplex software systems. This push arises from… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project proposes to investigate the application of an automatic inference engine called "Discovery Machine" to the domain of gene mapping. Discovery Machine is a set of knowledge acquisition tools that aid experts in solving problems over large… More

This proposal investigates using a knowledge acquisition system called The Discovery MachineT to enable SMEs to construct critics to evolve software. The Discovery Machine enables SMEs to construct critics by providing: Easy to use KA tools for capturing and experimenting with processes and objects,… More

Currently available rapid prototyping tools provide limited support in developing well designed interactive, software. The objective of this proposal is to build a user interface design environment for user interface designers in The Discovery MachineTwith the following features:¿ Link all phases… More

The most significant development within the target business sector is the explosion in amount and complexity of data and the subsequent need for computational power to utilize this data. Programmers, SMEs, and Decision Makers all need more effective toolsfor communicating to each other and for… More

A major drive in medical research today is the search for genes and other biological markers that can indicate a biological agent, an illness, or susceptibility to disease. In research labs, large amounts of resources are devoted to this task. Vast amounts of data are generated in studies; one of… More

FORCEnet has provided the Navy with unprecedented connectivity, allowing vast amounts of information to flow through the battlespace. This information, however, must be directed and culled in order to be useful. Formalization of best practices is needed in order to leverage the information… More

Discovery Machine, Inc. (DMI) proposes to create and extend technologies and methodologies for capturing knowledge from subject matter experts (SMEs). The expertise will be gathered in the form of graphical models of hierarchical task-decomposition networks (HTNs) and semantic networks (SNs). The… More

Discovery Machine, Inc. is partnered with Pennsylvania State University to produce a best practices capture system that goes beyond the storage and dissemination of lessons learned. The proposed system will leverage warfighters' specific knowledge as deployable knowledge assets. These knowledge… More

The proposed work includes the design of a decision system capable of taking high-level human-system integration (HSI) design requirements and propagating those design decisions to their consequences to determine cost changes. We will capture the relationships between platform technologies,… More

Gaming technology, specifically 3D immersive games have established themselves as effective training tools for the military in recent years. Recent work in Human Terrain Systems and the emergence of the Human, Social, Cultural and Behavior (HSCB) modeling program present an additional opportunity… More

Discovery Machine"s overall objective is to prepare for integration into the P-8 Advanced Training Base (ATB). We will accomplish this objective through the design, development and testing of Basic Level Actions (BLAs) for various entity types operating in the JSAF synthetic environment. We… More

This proposal describes a software system to help system engineers understand the true needs of the stakeholder for M & S tools in MDA.. The manual process used today takes valuable time with several iterations and the quality of the output is largely influenced by the experience level of the… More

This proposal describes how adaptive training for tactical decision making can be obtained through the use of Virtual Observer/Controllers (VO/C), which shall be developed to mimic human observer/controllers (O/Cs). Our objective in this proposal is to use our patented reflection technology to… More
