Cognitive-focused collaboration metrics research that seeks tounderstand how individual team members' cognitive processesimpact the effectiveness of collaborative teams performingcomplex decision tasks. The demonstration of technologydeveloped in Phase I will seek to identify and measure… More

An expanded modeling toolkit will be developed for explicitly representing the sensemaking, knowledge creation, knowledge management, and decision making processes of military C2 teams and organizations within the joint synthetic battlespace. this toolkitwill offer three unique advantages over… More

This 18-month Phase II project extends earlier research by translating current research theories of collaborative sensemaking and knowledge management into a working constructive simulation model that can support the exploration of different classes of variables-doctrinal, organizational, training,… More

Abstract. This research will create a collaboration environment that improves situation understanding to support net-centric operations. Guided by theories of transfer of meaning and situation understanding, Evidence Based Research (EBR) and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will integrate… More

The proposed Phase I research will illustrate and assess the feasibility of combining dynamic meaning systems, work control structures, and 4th-generation warfare principles to yield a computational environment for developing behavior signatures of a transnational insurgency movement. This… More

The proposed Phase I approach will provide the Army with a culture-general model of a developmental learning approach to cross-cultural competence acquisition and measurement. The model will integrate and expand upon efforts to define cultural intelligence and will (1) recognize the metacognitive,… More

There is a growing recognition that simulations representing social and political phenomena are very useful to today's military to support planning and execution of operations associated with irregular warfare. While many technical challenges are being addressed by DARPA, social science simulations… More

A proposed Phase II program of research outlines the development of an analytical tool and accompanying experimentation testbed for constructing, managing, and exploiting operational signatures in a holistic and dynamic manner. This innovative approach to knowledge creation offers a more powerful… More

This project involves research that supports the development of a prototype system to identify active factors in large complex HSCB simulation models. The approach is based on a Bayesian inference technique for finding active factors in fractionated screening experiments. The project will a)… More

This Phase I SBIR research proposal outlines a flexible and responsive context knowledge management framework that provides an innovative approach to developing a dynamic battlefield visualization management tool for military commanders. A unique feature of this design is the explicit representation… More
