Cognitive Cloud*
Abstract
*Formerly Transformative Sciences The Cognitive Cloud program develops militarily-relevant basic science as suggested by emerging technological paradigms and societal trends. Two areas in which there is particular interest are "cloud computing" - internet-based, utility computing, and "crowd-sourcing" - large-scale, human-centered networks of web-enabled individuals working towards a unified goal. These will be combined to create solutions for highly complex military problems. Examples of such problems include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance of denied areas; modeling foreign societies, governments, and militaries; debugging large, complex software systems; and real-time understanding of activity patterns indicative of imminent cyber-attack. Cognitive Cloud research will combine the strengths of cloud computing (ubiquitous access to information) and crowd-sourcing (the wisdom of the crowd) to enable highly resilient and reactive computing/communication/information systems that respond to and survive attacks. These cloud-based cognitively-enabled cyber defense capabilities will be realized without the imposition of significant bandwidth and/or processing overhead.
