Logistics Site Planning And Operation Tool (LOGSPOT)

TheSmallWorld.com, Inc. is proposing to conduct R&D with the objective of producing a working prototype that will connect a customized online linguistic data center for unique speech-to-speech and text-to-text natural language translation applications to amobile communications system. The main focus of our research will provide specific solutions for a variety of real-time translation applications for both military and commercial purposes. Understanding the limits of language translation technology andcomputational linguistics, we recognize that we must develop systems that incrementally reduce translation error rates, in part by recognizing and constraining subject domains and by customizing dictionaries that match these constraints. The practicalapplication of speech recognition and speech generation to machine translation systems using wireless internet interfaces such as WAP portals on web-enabled cell phones, connected to LEO satellites, will involve development of middleware, (i.e. softwaresystems architecture that bridges gaps between each component of the system).
