AI is still comparatively young, and like every young interdisciplinary area, it evolves as new ideas and insights are revealed and new methods and techniques become available. IHMC researchers James Allen, Kenneth Ford, Clark Glymour, Patrick Hayes, Choh Man Teng, Brent Venable, and Yorick Wilks actively are interested in clarifying the philosophical foundations of AI and cognitive science. Rethinking the aims of AI Traditionally, the goal of artificial intelligence was the creation of a ‘human-level’ mechanical intelligence, a kind of simulated human being that could pass the Turing Test...

A human-centered approach to visualization amplifies and extends human perceptual, cognitive, and performance capabilities, casting information into a form that exploits the unique properties of our perceptual system’s information processing capabilities. New visual displays being developed by IHMC researchers Larry Bunch, Tom Eskridge, Jeff Bradshaw, David Still, Matt Johnson, and...

A human-centered approach to visualization amplifies and extends human perceptual, cognitive, and performance capabilities, casting information into a form that exploits the unique properties of our perceptual system’s information processing capabilities. New visual displays being developed by IHMC researchers Larry Bunch, Tom Eskridge, Jeff Bradshaw, David Still, Matt Johnson, and Michael Vignati exploit current vision and neuroscience research to reinvent the presentation of information by harnessing the sophisticated processing power of the human visual system. These displays present data in a manner that allows the operator to understand the...

Future infrastructures will be adaptive to comply with security policies established at the time of deployment and to allow systems to autonomously learn, by example, about acceptable changes in configuration and applications. Policies and trust inferences will be based on distributed similarity estimates within hierarchical functional groups which are autonomously formed as nodes exchange...

Future infrastructures will be adaptive to comply with security policies established at the time of deployment and to allow systems to autonomously learn, by example, about acceptable changes in configuration and applications. Policies and trust inferences will be based on distributed similarity estimates within hierarchical functional groups which are autonomously formed as nodes exchange information about their configuration and state. These self-regulating and self-healing infrastructures will provide the much needed flexibility and robustness to enable system security and information assurance capabilities for future military and civilian tactical infrastructures. To realize this vision, IHMC research scientists...
