IPAC Requirements Interpretation System (IRIS).

Abstract

This report describes the IPAC Requirements Interpretation System (IRIS), an automated intelligence data processing system, whose primary function is to support an Indications and Warning Center's actions to obtain more information on observed events of interest. The system facilitates a user's transition from his information requirement, or query, to the identification of specific information system outputs; and through an evaluation of the information system, to the initiation of acquisition of selected outputs. The system works with the user by means of a comprehensive man-machine interface. Available to the user are various components of a data base which contain summaries of relevant information system characteristics and signatures of the observables of the query subjects. Protocols for accessing these information systems are described. Analysis techniques to enable evaluation of data acquisition opportunities for different information systems are also available to the user. Both collection systems and intelligence files can be accommodated in the data base. (Author)
