Research: Topics

KML centers its research efforts on the technological needs of the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), as this organization transitions from a disparate data-processing systems infrastructure to an information-centric, knowledge management environment. Because information-centric, knowledge management environments encompass a variety of technical concepts and sophisticated technologies, KML focuses its research efforts on the following areas:

Autonomic Computing
Autonomic Computing is an approach to software design that focuses on the self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, and self-protecting potential of computing systems. Learn more about Autonomic Computing...

Intelligent and Adaptive Tools
Intelligent and adaptive (I&A) tools are computing programs, components, and systems that can reason about complex situations and adapt that reasoning to unforeseen events. Learn more about Intelligent and Adaptive Tools...

Knowledge Management
When applied to Information Technology (IT), knowledge management refers to technologies that make an organization’s tacit and explicit knowledge accessible, manageable, and actionable. Learn more about Knowledge Management...

Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence and linguistics concerned with the machine interpretation of free-format text written in a human (natural) language. Learn more about NLP...

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Service-Oriented Architecture is a paradigm for structuring software design around the notion of reusable, formalized software services. Learn more about SOA...
