Ontology Assisted Assessment of Worldwide Cyber Research Trends

Abstract

This research examined and reported on emerging global research trends in cyber security. The research defined a comprehensive set of cyber-related research concepts, which served as the basis for a cyber ontology relevant to current cyber concepts of interest to the Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AOARD) office. This study was intended to strike a balance between automated searches of promising concepts using an operationally viable inferencing engine and manual reviews using the expertise of the research team. The overall objective was to use the strengths of each approach to gain insights gathered from refinement of the large data set associated with groundbreaking research underway globally. Results are presented in conjunction with a prototype web application. This prototype application provided visualization of the results, while also establishing an initial application framework intended for future expansion of the automated ontology assisted data gathering capabilities of this study.
