Past Projects

	Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes As part of DARPA’s Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program, SRI and team members are working on developing a next-generation "Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes" (CALO).
	Plan Authoring System based on Sketches, Advice, and Templates (PASSAT) PASSAT is a user-centric plan-authoring system grounded in the concepts of plan sketches, advice, and templates. PASSAT enables users to quickly develop plans that draw upon past experience encoded in templates, but that are customized to their individual preferences of a given user. The PASSAT core consists of an interactive plan authoring capability; tools for task management, constraint reasoning, plan sketching and causal reasoning provide provide complementary automated capabilities.
	Tactical Mission Planning SRI, in collaboration with NASA Ames, is developing mixed-initiative planning technology to support scientists in constructing tactical mission plans for future planetary exploration missions.
	Task-based Information Distribution Environment TIDE is a collection of information management tools that automatically disseminate and organize documents based on relevance to models of collaborators' tasks. TIDE uses a novel probabilistic reasoning approach to derive information needs from tasks, present to the user a set of documents that broadly cover his current information needs, and adapt its task model based on user relevance feedback.
	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

	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.
	Plan Authoring System based on Sketches, Advice and Templates PASSAT is a user-centric plan-authoring system grounded in the concepts of plan sketches, advice, and templates.
