STAMMER2 Production System for Tactical Situation Assessment. Volume 1. Design Description.
Abstract
STAMMER2 is a revised version of STAMMER, a System for Tactical Assessment of Multisource Messages, Even Radar. STAMMER was created as part of an investigation of new correlation methodologies, and served as a testbed for explorations of applications of rule-based inference systems to the tactical situations assessment (TSA) problem. STAMMER concentrated on the specific task of merchant detection from radar and external messages. Experience with STAMMER revealed areas for improvement, which have led to the creation of STAMMER2. In addition to several changes in the underlying rule mechanisms used, the enhancement found in STAMMER2 arose out of a desire for greater generality and flexibility in the demonstration system, the explanation system, and the range of acceptable inputs to the system. STAMMER2 should prove to be a more useful system for testing various rule/scenario collections. During the development that led to STAMMER2, further issues in the design of rule-based inference systems for use in support of C3 activities have become apparent and they are discussed. This volume consists of the design description Volume 2 consists of the code. (Author)
