MIO Cortex: Memory Mechanisms for Operator-Expert Networked Decision Support
Abstract
Who: Since 2010, researchers led by the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School have conducted a series of experiments at the CEnter for NETwork Innovation and eXperimentation (CENETIX). Objective: to address threats to the United States and NATO installations overseas. Purpose: to examine Networked Decision Support System (NWDSS) means to detect and interdict nuclear and radiological materials. Where: portions of the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas. Results: operational models that contribute to the development of the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA). We describe the emergence of Transactive Memory structures for a collective network of experts and operators (sensors), based upon observations of ongoing Maritime Interdiction Operation (MIO) detection and interdiction experiments. We consider the memory mechanism supporting a MIO networked DSS environment as a network parallel to a human cortex. The MIO cortex reveals itself through observation of its expert nodes. In the environment of a MIO experiment, different collaborative tools play the role of memory processors. These observations make subsequent experimental studies of MIO Cortex bursts and clustering interesting and challenging.
