This paper describes a unique resource at West Point, the Information Analysis and Research Laboratory, referred to as the IWAR range. The IWAR range is an isolated laboratory used by undergraduate students and faculty researchers. The IWAR is a production-system-like, heterogeneous environment. The IWAR has become a vital part of the Information Assurance curriculum at West Point. We use the military range analogy to teach the students in the class that the exploits and other tools used in the laboratory are weapons and should be treated with the same care as rifles and grenades. This paper describes the structure of the laboratory and how it is used in classroom instruction. It also describes the process used to create the IWAR and how an IWAR might be built using limited resources. Finally, this paper describes the future directions of the IWAR project.
We describe in this paper a new method for extracting knowledge on Hierarchical Task-Network (HTN) planning problems for speeding up the search. This knowledge is gathered by propagating properties through an AND/OR t...

Software tools for personal photo collection management are proliferating, but they usually have limited searching and browsing functions. We implemented the PhotoFinder prototype to enable non-technical users of personal photo collections to search and browse easily. PhotoFinder provides a set of visual Boolean query interfaces, coupled with dynamic query and query preview features. It gives users powerful search capabilities. Using a scatter plot thumbnail display and drag-and-drop interface, PhotoFinder is designed to be easy to use for searching and browsing photos.

Users of hypertext systems like the World Wide Web (WWW) often find themselves following hypertext links deeper and deeper, only to find themselves "lost" and unable to find their way back to the previously visited pages. We have implemented a Web browser companion called Domain Tree Browser (DTB) that builds a tree structured visual navigation history while browsing the Web. The Domain Tree Browser organizes the URLs visited based on the domain name of each URL and shows thumbnails of each page in a zoomable window.

We split the rule extraction task into a subsymbolic and a symbolic phase and present a set of neural networks for filling the former. Under the two general commitments of: (i) having a learning algorithm that is sensitive to feedback signals coming from the latter phase, and (ii) extracting Boolean variables whose meaning is determined by the further symbolic processing, we introduce three unsupervised learning algorithms and show related numerical examples for a multilayer perceptron, recurrent neural networks, and a specially devised vector quantizer.

Texture measures have been widely studied in addition to spectral features to characterize land cover type. Texture measures can be used to update land cover maps and enhance classification accuracy. Most previous studies have focussed only on fine resolution data such as Landsat, SPOT and Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery. Texture analysis at coarser resolution (250 m) has not been investigated because data are only beginning to become available with the launch of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). To meet the need of global change research, the MODIS instrument is planned to provide global coverage at 250 m resolution in the red and infrared bands. Early warning of human-induced land cover changes, such as urbanization and deforestation, is expected from MODIS. This paper examines whether texture analysis at this scale would be useful for detecting changes. There are at least two issues in using texture analysis: 1) which texture measures should be used, and 2) what window size is most appropriate for capturing textures. In this study we test a large number of texture measures and window sizes on MODIS data simulated from Landsat data using the data mining technique of feature selection.

We have developed a multi-agent system, based on network flow model and KQML, called MASCAN (multi-agent system to support negotiation of cost allocation on network). Such a problem is very important to the utility industries such as electricity and gas, transportation and logistics industry. In our system, each agent represents a node in a network, and it does not receive any centralized controls or centralized information sources. All the decisions are made locally based on the rules or knowledge that each agent has in order to contend with other agents for a possible cheapest path under a fair-play practice. We also assume that each agent is rational. The solution to the cost allocation is the equilibrium point of a noncooperative game, subject to the constraints of the given network. We applied MASCAN to model and support the negotiation of cost allocation of power transmission after the deregulation of the electricity industry.
