Edge Analytics: Analysis of Social Media to Support Tactical Users

Abstract

The Advanced Mobile Systems Initiative at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute has developed the Edge Analytics system that ingests open-source social-media data streams and identifies significant events and emerging trends in time to inform and influence operations. We will discuss the architecture and implementation of Edge Analytics; present findings from analyzing Twitter data related to the 2012 attack on the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi; discuss field trials with the Department of Defense, National Guard, and first responder communities; and demonstrate the system.
