Information Delivery Configuration for Augmented Warrior Readiness

"Information can mean the difference between life and death, between mission success and mission failure. For information to be actionable, it must be accurate, timely, and comprehended. In executing this Phase I SBIR effort - Adaptive InformationPresentation - ScenPro proposes to define cognitive readiness measurement criteria, construct a rules-based representation to integrate that criteria with other mission and task parameters, identify display options, and develop a knowledge managementarchitecture.ScenPro will accomplish the Phase I program objectives by building on our domain knowledge and software infrastructure developed as part of the Agent Supported Information Visualization (ASIV) and Virtual Soldier Skills Assessor (ViSSA) programs. We willassure that our system design meets user needs through a combination of user verified scenarios and formal knowledge acquisition sessions with internal and external subject matter experts. Our formal Scenario-Based Engineering process will be used todefine functional requirements, identify constraints on key system components, and apply rapid prototyping of concepts for customer evaluation. The concepts and prototype software developed as a result of this Phase I effort carry a high potential for applicability to many government and commercial markets. Although content requirements and data sources are domain dependent, the infrastructuredeveloped to access source data, assess cognitiv
