A -- KNOWLEDGE-OBJECT-BASED-INTEGRATED COURSE OF ACTION CRITIQUING AND ELABORATION SYSTEM EXPERIMENT (ICCES) SOL DAAB07-00-R-A771 POC Suzanne Anderson, Contracting Officer, 732-532-5486 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, anderss2@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. Knowledge-Object-Based-Integrated Course of Action Critiquing and Elaboration System Experiment (ICCES) -- Future battle command decision support systems will require the use of large-scale knowledge-based technologies to provide automated real-time feedback and predictive capabilities to aid decision-making. The development of ICCES will address this requirement by integrating the capabilities of the Course of Action (COA) Display and Evaluation Tool (CADET) and the High Performance Integration, Transformation, and Exploitation of Knowledge (HITEK) critiquer of the High Performance Knowledge Bases (HPKB) program. This experiment will assess whether a prototype knowledge-based decision support system can rapidly develop and analyze courses of action for brigade and division level operations. The result will be a prototype knowledge-based decision support system that facilitates rapid development and analysis of courses of action for brigade and division level operations. This is a sole source acquisition to Teknowledge Corp., Fairfax, VA for the Firm Fixed Price development of ICCES. The effort will leverage knowledge base technology under development by Teknowledge for DARPA's HPKB program and the CADET being developed under CECOM Sponsorship by Logica Carnegie Group.
