Application of Symbolic Processing to Command and Control

Abstract

This paper describes an effort to evolve and apply a symbolic processing paradigm for Command and Control (C2) systems. The specific application discussed is an 'intelligent' graphics interface to support time- critical C2 tasks. This Advanced Interactive Presentation System (AIPS) replaces the separate and specialized graphics interfaces of individual decision-support application programs, providing the user with a highly automated agent through which to interactively direct and modify the generation of displays whose content cuts across sub-system boundaries. The key to providing this high level of automation lies in the correct representation of knowledge about graphics, the display device, the application domain, and the user's needs. An experimental AIPS has been constructed utilizing a high-level knowledge representation language (KLONE) implemented as part of this effort.
