The Next Computer Software Frontier

Information Management and Cyber Security with Intelligent Software.

CHALLENGE:  The complexity of the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE) and the increasing demands being placed upon it daily limit the effectiveness, efficiency, and responsiveness of current operational processes.  The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) recognizes that there is a compelling need for the national defense digital network systems and the processes that they support to be elevated from data to information management. Currently the translation of data to information is the responsibility of the human user. With the enormous volume of data that flows through the JDDE on a daily basis, the increasing expectations of improved decisions, the complexity of the JDDE electronic infrastructure, and acknowledged cyber security vulnerabilities, the need for software intelligence has become an absolute necessity.

OBJECTIVE:  The purpose of the Innovation Roundtable Conference is to bring the best and brightest innovators in Government, Industry, and Academia together to explore the Art of the Impossible pertaining to the next generation problem statement for USTRANSCOM.

REGISTRATION:  Conference details can be found on the registration website: https://einvitations.afit.edu/McNabb182/anim.cfm and the down-loadable Request for Information (RFI).
