Innovative Data Anomaly Detection and Transformation for Analysis Applications

The overall objective of this topic is to develop a software toolset to transform extracted data from different database systems and convert it into data packages that create model specific input files that support future modeling, simulation, and analysis tasks. Specifically, the main objective of the Phase II research project is to develop, demonstrate and validate an operational prototype of the Phase I design. The Phase II research will address the problem described in the research topic by developing an innovative data transformation toolset that can be used to create model inputs for selected Navy models. The innovation in FTIs approach is the development and use of building blocks to implement any generic data transformation process that can provide the same or better results than current data transformation processes that are more manually intensive and require much greater time and analyst manhours. FTI will develop a data transformation toolset prototype for use by the customer, including software components, data representations, and user interface to develop data transformation processes. FTI will develop data transformation processes based on existing customer processes in case studies using the prototype software, provide a demonstration of the data transformation capability, and validate the results.
