IS Project
Intelligent Systems (IS) Project
The goal of the IS Project is to:
Develop smarter, adaptive systems and tools that work together with humans to achieve NASA's Space Science, Earth Science, Exploration, and Aerospace missions of the future.
The Intelligent Systems Project will focus on the development of fundamental component technologies and the application of these technologies as isolated components. If sufficient progress in made in the development of the component technologies under the Intelligent Systems Project, the Systems Autonomy Project will begin in FY05 and focus on system level synthesis of multiple technologies and the fundamental advances that are required as the component technologies are brought together. During both the Intelligent Systems and the Systems Autonomy Projects, mission technology insertion activities will be pursued to help focus and guide the technology development process.
Key Project Areas:
- Automated Reasoning - Design systems that reliably make
decisions with limited
intervention in order to overcome delays related to continuous
communication
of commands, time delays due to distance in deep space probes, or
humans with
higher mission priorities.
- Human-Centered Systems - Radically enhance both individual and
team productivity
on NASA missions by designing "computer based agents"
that can exercise
more autonomy and work effectively with humans.
- Intelligent Data Understanding - develop and integrate sophisticated techniques that assist in the data/information extraction and knowledge discovery process in onboard space missions and on the ground.
