In a process analogous to applied research, this innovation applies knowledge engineering technology in order to develop an advanced decision support system. By combining the company's knowledge of current NASA requirements and expertise, this project will extend applied knowledge engineering in the areas of global understanding, representation, and control of multiple, domain-independent knowledge bases; integrated data bases for distributed knowledge bases; hierarchical control architectures for distributed knowledge bases; and system relationships that are understandable and accessible to humans at a high level of communication.
Potential Commercial Applications:An advanced decision support system could support NASA in a variety of assessments currently facing the Agency.STATUS: Phase I Only
