<h3>Program Objective:</h3>

<p> Genoa II is a FY02 new-start program.  It will focus on developing
information technology needed by teams of intelligence analysts and
operations and policy personnel in attempting to anticipate and
preempt terrorist threats to US interests.  Genoa II\'s goal is to
make such teams faster, smarter, and more joint in their day-to-day
operations.  Genoa II will apply automation to team processes so that
more information will be exploited, more hypotheses created and
examined, more models built and populated with evidence, and in the
larger sense, more crises dealt with simultaneously.  </p>

<h3>Program Strategy:</h3>

<p>
Genoa II will develop and deploy: 1) cognitive aids that allow humans
and
machines to &ldquo;think together&rdquo; in real-time about
complicated problems; 2)
means to overcome the biases and limitations of the human cognitive
system;
3) &ldquo;cognitive amplifiers&rdquo; that help teams of people
rapidly and fully
comprehend complicated and uncertain situations; and, 4) the means to
rapidly and seamlessly cut across – and complement – existing
stove-piped
hierarchical organizational structures by creating dynamic, adaptable,
peer-to-peer collaborative networks.
</p>

<h3>Planned Accomplishments:</h3>

     <ul>
     
     <li>FY02/ FY03:  Design faster systems of humans and machines by
assimilating new information technologies to operational agencies to
meet asymmetric threats.</li>

     <li>FY02/ FY03:  Develop tools for cognitive amplification by
extending the ability of software to model current states, estimate
plausible futures, support formal risk analysis, and provide for
automated option planning.  Supporting technology includes the use of
intelligent agents, cognitive machine intelligence, associative
memory, neural networks, pattern matching, Bayesian inference
networks, and biologically inspired algorithms.</li>

  <li>FY02/ FY03:  Develop tools for cross-agency collaboration
designed to operate across existing hierarchical organizations while
maintaining control and accountability.  Areas under consideration
will include:  KM; corporate memory; context-driven,
declarative-policy enforcement; self-aware data; business rules;
self-governance; and automated planning.</li>

  </ul>
