Ranking Activities Based on Their Impact and Threat

Abstract

Many say we live in the information age, but in reality if you ask any analyst today they would say we live in the data age. The amount of data being presented and displayed to the analyst is overwhelming - to a point that in many cases they are missing the salient of key activities of interest. Analysts are spending the majority of their time filtering through the data rather than performing analysis. Until recently, in the past five years, has there been an increased emphasis in higher level fusion or what many are calling situation awareness. So why the increased interest? In this paper we will look at this very issue, review our reference model and provide a discussion of a flow through the model to include how we can rank various activities based on their impact and threat.
