Metrics and Measures for Intelligence Analysis Task Difficulty

Some fundamental issues are: (a) how to employ rigorous methodologies in evaluating tools, given a host of problems such as controlling for task difficulty, effects of time or learning, small-sample size limitations; (b) how to measure the difficulty/complexity of IA tasks in order to establish valid experimental/quasi-experimental designs aimed to support evaluation of tools; and (c) development of more rigorous (summative), performance-based measures of human performance during the conduct of IA tasks, beyond the more traditional reliance on formative assessments (e.g., subjective ratings). Invited discussants will be asked to comment on one or more of these issues, wit...

Workshop participants were working analysts, working members of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Field Intelligence Element. An analyst from the CounterIntelligence Program also participated in the workshop. This paper summarizes the results of the workshop and discusses implications for intelligence analysis software tool development.

Advancements in sensor and computer technologies are making it feasible to install sensors and small powerful computers on complex equipment to monitor the general condition or state (i.e., health) of that equipment. Methods for analyzing system status and health and for predicting system life expectancy need to be made more powerful, insightful, reliable, and robust for data collected onboard systems in real time. This paper reports on a project that is developing robust analytic methods for predicting remaining life of mechanical systems. The project is focused specifically on the investigation of a generalized statistical method for characterizing and predicting system degradation.

The main focus of the work was to demonstrate the feasibility of developing an onboard PHM system for the gas turbine engine used on the M1 Abrams tank. Research was performed on methods for real time, onboard prognostics/engine life expectancy forecasting, and a prototype system was designed, developed, and installed on several test tanks. The purpose of this presentation is to review the approaches to PHM employed in this research, to provide an overview of the PHM prototype and results obtained to date with data collected in the field, and to describe current work aimed at developing a PHM capability for diesel engines.

SOFIT: Sociotechnical and Organizational Factors for Insider Threat

This paper describes the design and development of a structured model that emphasizes individual and organizational sociotechnical factors while incorporating technical indicators from previous work. We compare this model with previous research and describe a use case to demonstrate how the model can be applied as an ontology. We also summarize results of an expert knowledge elicitation study to reveal relationships among indicators and to examine several quantitative models for assessing threat of cases comprising multiple indicators.

Maintaining Stasis: Why Oser Acceptance of Advanced Technology is So Hard to Get (and What to do about it)

Major activities included establishment of user-centered customer and developer organizations, knowledge acquisition, human-machine interface design and prototyping, scenario and system simulation development, and demonstration of the proposed system. Because the system was designed with substantial user input, it received a high degree of user acceptance.
