n future warfare, more and more sensor and intelligence (intel) information systems will be networked and thus information shared, potentially enhancing military situation awareness and mission efficacy. The challenge is to coordinate the information flows such that military actors get the right information (no more and noless) at the right time.
Results from the ICIS project (BSIK 03024) are at the core of a new application, recently used by the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) to help the identification of the air crash victims in the Tripoli disaster. In 2009 the ICIS partner Stichting Neurale Netwerken agreed with the NFI to transfer Bayesian belief network technology and help them build an application for DNA matching. Tests have shown that the Bayesian approach is a very powerful and fast way for solving partial DNA matching problems and a big help for this very specialized application.
The increasing complexity of our world demands new perspectives on the role of technology
in human decision making. We need new technology to cope with the increasingly
complex and information-rich nature of our modern society.
