Technology AreasArtificial IntelligenceThe Artificial Intelligence technical area investigates technologies, tools, and processes that support the discovery, processing, exploitation, and dissemination of information, tools, and knowledge. Intelligent agents are covered in this area. BiotechnologyThe Biotechnology TAT focuses on biomedical research as it intersects with information technology, security, national intelligence, and defense. This includes biomedical and neuroscience informatics, computational biology and biologically inspired computation, biosecurity and biodefense, and biosensing (including both sensing of biological agents and biologically-based sensors). Communications and NetworksCommunications covers developments in LAN and WAN network protocols, system planning, management, traffic analysis, wireless technologies and high bandwidth networks and the evolution of satellite communications to networks of low earth orbiting satellites. Computing and SoftwareThe mission of the Computing and Software Area Team is to maintain awareness of developments outside MITRE related to the technologies of computer architecture and engineering, computer science, software engineering and the software profession. Decision SupportThis area focuses on cognitive-centered decision support applications and new methods and tools for developing effective systems that support decision-making. Emphasis is placed on decision-making in dynamically changing real-time environments (occurring in a day or less). Research in human decision-making to enable the development of better support systems for the military or other sponsors is covered in this area. Also covered is the demonstration of decision aids that advance the state of the art. Beginning with FY04, projects previously placed under the Collaboration and Visualization TAT are now included within the Decision Support TAT. Beginning with FY04, technologies supporting training are now covered by the Decision Support TAT. ElectronicsElectronics investigates electronic component technologies, and their design and fabrication techniques. Enterprise & Systems Architecture & Engineering (ESAE)A primary purpose of Enterprise and Systems Architecture and Engineering (ESAE) is to guide and direct the evolution and transformation of enterprises and their systems. It is a practice area that requires integration across many disciplines, including program management, capital planning, organizational, business, and technical disciplines. The results of Enterprise and Systems Architecture and Engineering are used to assist decision-makers manage the risks inherent in enterprise and systems evolution by planning and justifying changes while also evaluating their feasibility and impact. Human LanguageHuman Language researches computer systems that understand and/or synthesize spoken and written human languages. Included in this area are speech processing (recognition, understanding, and synthesis), information extraction, handwriting recognition, machine translation, text summarization, and language generation. Information AssuranceInformation Assurance investigates security vulnerabilities in distributed information systems and develops architectures, systems and techniques for providing protection from attack, and exploitation. Existing tools for system protection will be tested and evaluated. Information ManagementInformation Management focuses on technologies and processes that enable the organization, creation, management, and use of information to satisfy the needs of diverse applications and users. Investment Strategies and Operational AnalysisThe Investment Strategy (IS) TAT is focused on enablers: those analytical methods, processes, and tools enabling funding allocation decisions that consider the changing sponsor "regulatory" environment and the need of the sponsors to adopt new technologies and business strategies. Operational analysis was not a focus area for FY05. Modeling and SimulationThis area focuses on information technology to support training, and technology and innovative application of modeling and simulation. The information revolution is fueling changes in the workplace at an unprecedented rate, and these changes are threatening to overwhelm conventional education and training approaches. Fortunately, advanced instructional technologies like embedded training and collaborative learning environments can help warfighters and intelligence analysts adapt to these changes. Advances in simulation infrastructure, interoperability architectures, and modeling paradigms, have simplified the application of simulation, demonstrated the feasibility of building simulations from reusable components, and otherwise facilitated a revolution in simulation application. Prior to FY04, this area supported training. Since FY04 Training is now covered by the Decision Support TAT. Sensors and EnvironmentThe Sensors and Environment Technology Area encompasses the broad set of technologies employed to detect, monitor, and characterize the environment (terrain, weather, targets, etc.); determine position within that environment (geoposition); and integrate, exploit, manage, and disseminate feature and positional data (including Geographic Information Systems). The TAT's long-standing interests encompass radar, optical, spectral, and acoustic sensors. Social and Behavioral SciencesThe Social and Behavioral Sciences Area Team focuses on research about people and how they interact with each other, as relevant for national interests. Dimensions of focus include: behavioral assessment and analysis, shared situation awareness, information sharing within and across boundaries, organizational change and management, and aligning enterprise stakeholders. Several cross-cutting themes are also of concern: communication, culture, privacy, trust, and validating models of human/social behavior. |
