OpportunityTitle: Special Program Announcement: Computational Methods for Decision Making &#150; Resource Optimization, Image Understanding, Information Integration, and Cyber Security
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Refer to ONRBAA11-001.
Description: The proposed topic will lead to: 1) Identification and understanding of key issues; 2) Development and maturation of algorithms and methods; 3) Determination and demonstration of performance of algorithms, methods, techniques, and strategies for automated computational methods and information systems that support decision making. The algorithms, methods, techniques, and strategies must support autonomous information processing systems that can successfully and securely execute a variety of missions in complex environments while exploiting multiple sources of sensor and open domain data. The program will pursue a wide variety of approaches that enable automated systems to, within the context of a mission, automatically analyze multiple sources of data supporting interpretation of the data; combine data and interpretations from multiple data sources to provide understanding of the battle space; provide management of sensor and other resources to maintain and improve the battle space picture; and enable and build high performance software systems that are defect free and trustworthy to implement these algorithms, methods, techniques, and strategies.*************************************************Applicants shall NOT apply under this Special Notice.
