Information Uncertainty Portrayal

Securboration Inc., teaming with Dr. Eugene Santos of the University of Connecticut, is pleased to propose our innovative approach for visualizing and assessing uncertainty entitled, Uncertainty Prediction System (UPSYS). During the phase one effort weplan to demonstrate how the innovative UPSYS technology can be applied to supports visualization and assessment of event uncertainty within the context of Predictive Battlespace Awareness (PBA) as shown in figure 1. UPSYS consist of four main components:1) an ontology that specifies PBA classes and relationships 2) an Uncertainty Layer that uses the ontology to automatically generate Bayesian Networks for event uncertainty calculations, 3) a Casual Analysis Engine that reasons over the ontology to infercause and effect, 4) visualizations that provide information of all aspects of an event and its uncertainty in relation to other events and PBA workproducts.
