In the era of networked applications and the Global Information Grid (GIG) information overload has become a common problem. Users at all levels in a command structure can easily become overwhelmed simply by the sheer number of data sources, let alone the potential volumes of information that may be contained in them. This effect is amplified in a high operational tempo environment where an operator's cognitive abilities may be strained due to factors such as fatigue and the environment.

ASI's Role-based Information Delivery (RBID) solves this problem by taking a goal-based approach to information management on behalf of the user. By drawing on over a decade of development experience that includes trail blazing work for DARPA, NASA and the Department of Defense, and based on our core intelligent systems technology platform, PreAct®, ASI role-based solutions have been applied to advanced military C2 systems, such as the Army's Future Combat System, the DARPA Pilot's Associate, and NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS).

In the RBID environment, a goal-oriented analysis of the operator's role in the organization is conducted in order to identify their contribution to the overall mission. By weighing this role against the potential operating conditions in which they must perform their job, a baseline set of plans and actions are identified for the role. The collective set of logic and reasoning elements that the operator considers in choosing the plans and actions to achieve a given goal is then modeled to form the basis of the role-based solution. Information from any number of sources is then sought on behalf of the operator in order to intelligently aid the completion of the tasks as well as to confirm that their actions are appropriate for the current situation.

With this set of principles in hand, the RBID solution works with the operator to perform the following functions:

Course of action selection

Task completion aiding

Task balancing between operators

Task shedding

Decision support
