Application of XTM and XFML to Individual and Organizational Modeling (AXIOM)

The Design Knowledge Company, Inc (TDKC) and Sytronics, Inc. presents a unique and commercially viable solution to the problem, our Application of XTM and XFML to Individual and Organizational Modeling (AXIOM). AXIOM applies several innovativetechnologies to provide a standards-based approach to cognitive modeling. Specifically, we propose to develop and apply methods of knowledge acquisition to create standards-based knowledge representations (XTM, XFML) and demonstrate the use of theserepresentations to populate a modeling and simulation framework based on the functional requirements of Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA). Further, we will evaluate existing tools for the manipulation of XTM and XFML for use in developing intelligentmodels at multiple levels of abstraction. AXIOM will reduce the effort and increase the reusability of cognitive models for the Synthetic Battlespace. This approach contrasts with existing approaches and delivers a new approach to producing cognitivemodels for use in simulation, including the development of a toolkit to significantly reduce effort, while affording flexibility and adaptability. Potential applications include content development for the Semantic Web, training systems, intelligence andhomeland security, and gaming applications.
