Advanced Analytics for Discovering Areas of Interest - MP106-13

Metron and Next Century propose to design, to develop, and to demonstrate a proof-of-concept pattern recognition capability using open source data types ported to a spatial grid structure. The capability would identify areas of interest from the data and display the results as heat maps showing both current and future (predicted) states. Metron brings to the Phase I effort extensive experience in large-scale data analysis for spatial, temporal and graphical data types, and has applied this expertise for both military and commercial customers where manual discovery of interesting patterns is not practical due to data size. To complement Metrons expertise, Next Century has deployed a geospatial-based IED event analysis tool and was one of the founding developers of the Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) and OWF Marketplace (OMP). Next Century continues to support the development and enhancement of OWF and OMP Government Open Source Software (GOSS) efforts, and provides OWF GOSS technical support to Department of Defense and Intelligence Community user communities.
