The HPCC Information Sciences activity leverages basic software technology research supporting military, mission-oriented needs. This software technology research develops advanced concepts for methods and tools to produce high assurance software, language concepts that facilitate the rapid specification and evolution of software intensive defense systems, and techniques to manage shared complex-structured data objects in larger heterogeneous, distributed information systems.
Intelligent systems technology focuses on advanced techniques for knowledge representation, reasoning, and machine learning to enable computer understanding of spoken and written language and to advance methods for planning, scheduling, and resource allocation. Human-computer interaction technology focuses on design methods and enabling technology for more natural interaction between people and computers. Microelectronic science calibrates fundamental concepts to produce reliable, testable, and high performance design. High Performance Computing (HPC) science generates concepts and methods for validating and verifying design components, and unique approaches to rapidly develop high performance libraries across multiple HPC architectures. |
