Lessons Learned from Developing SAWA: A Situation Awareness Assistant

Abstract

SAWA is a Situation Awareness Assistant being developed by Versatile Information Systems, Inc. During the process of its development several lessons were learned about advantages and limitations of certain approaches, techniques and technologies as they are applied to situation awareness. This paper begins with an overview of SAWA and then focuses on some of the more significant lessons learned. These include the pros and cons of leveraging Semantic Web technologies, the handling of time-varying attributes and the processing of uncertainty.
