Cognitive Cloud
Abstract
The Cognitive Cloud program combines cloud computing (internet-based utility computing) and crowd-sourcing (large-scale, human-centered networks of web-enabled individuals working towards a unified goal) to create solutions for highly complex military problems. Examples of such problems include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance of denied areas; modeling foreign societies, governments, and militaries; debugging large, complex software systems; and real-time understanding of activity patterns indicative of imminent cyber-attack. A social compiler which views people, computer, and network ensembles as elements of a single architecture and enables crowd sourced developers to write social programs in a high-level language would automatically decompose the task and organize, incentivize, and outsource appropriate aspects to peer production. The resulting social computing systems could be applied both within the military and across larger communities to achieve capabilities ranging from highly responsive development of tactics, techniques, and procedures to open-source intelligence and strategic communications.
