Improving Situation Awareness with Logic Programming: Preliminary Report

Abstract

In the military, an ever increasing amount of input data is in need of rapid processing to present as quickly and completely as possible the relevant operational picture to decision makers. Automated processing of more and more of this data is being demanded in the ongoing technology race for superior command and control capability. Combined with simple parsing tools, a logic programming based approach is well-suited to processing structured textual data, typical of certain intel and status reports, for the purpose of aggregating and inferring new information. This is particularly the case when common sense, default reasoning, or expert knowledge is required. We present a preliminary report on our efforts to improve high-level situation awareness through the use of answer set programming in the automated processing of well-structured reports.
