   Past Projects

Genoa

Genoa: The Structured Evidential Argumentation System
Under this effort, we developed the concept of structured argumentation applied to intelligence analysis, a corporate memory of structured arguments that accumulates over time constituting an historic record of anlytic thinking, and an asynchronous collaborative environemnt for collective reasoning.
 

HARP

HARP: Human Augmented Reasoning through Patterning
This project will develop and deploy: 1) cognitive aids that allow humans and machines to "think together" in real-time about complicated problems; 2) techniques to overcome the biases and limitations of the human cognitive system; 3) "cognitive amplifiers" that help teams of people rapidly and fully comprehend complicated and uncertain situations; and, 4) the means to rapidly and seamlessly cut across and complement existing hierarchical organizational structures.
 

PRIME

PRIME: A PMESII Model Development Environment
The goal was to develop the first version of PRIME, a PMESII effects-based modelling tool, as a web application that supports rapid collaborative development of predictive direct effect PMESII (political, military, economic, social, information and infrastructure perspective) models. These models were then used as a means of forecasting anticipated effects, in response to a planned set of DIME (diplomatic, informational, military, or economic) actions.
 

LAW

The Link Analysis Workbench
The goal of this project is to develop the Link Analysis Workbench (LAW), a Web-accessible tool where analysts and machines collaboratively perform link analysis by defining hierarchical and temporal patterns, that include uncertain and qualitative elements, and by defining search strategies for pattern application, through a graphical user interface that supports direct graphical browsing and editing of patterns, search strategies, and summaries and details of resulting matches.
 
   Software

Angler
Angler is a tool that helps intelligence/policy professionals explore, understand, and overcome cognitive biases, and collaboratively expand their joint cognitive vision through use of divergent & convergent thinking techniques (such as brainstorming and clustering).
LAW: Link Analysis Workbench
LAW is a system that helps intelligence professionals define and match patterns within large, incomplete, and noisy sets of relational data.
SEAS: Structured Evidential Argumentation System
SEAS is a tool to aid analysts in reasoning about potential opportunities/crises. It records analytic thinking in structured arguments, provides a collaborative environment in which multiple analysts can simultaneously contribute to arguments, and retains a coproate memory of the evolution of analytic thinking over time.
