NASA: Task-Method-Knowledge Toolkit for Subject Matter Experts

The most significant development within the target business sector is the explosion in amount and complexity of data and the subsequent need for computational power to utilize this data. Programmers, SMEs, and Decision Makers all need more effective toolsfor communicating to each other and for leveraging this information. The Discovery Machine provides both a vehicle for communicating, modeling, and analyzing complex processes and the information and objects flowing through that processes. The commercialmarket opportunity for more effective utilization of process and design data and the scientists, researchers, and analysts who interpret and use that data is extraordinary, particularly given the explosion in data collection and warehousing and thescarcity of skilled engineers, designers, and other experts (especially those with advanced computational skills) who can make use of that data. The key target market for Discovery Machine are design process and data-intensive segments in the defense andsystems engineering/design and biotechnology sectors.
