RESEARCH IN INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

Proposals Due: April 28, 2003
Classification Code: A -- Research and Development
Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC) intends to solicit basic research proposals for a set of advanced information technology associated with system intellignce that do not exist today in support of the Intelligent Systems (IS) Program. This NRA solicts truly novel approaches to solving future NASA problems, rather than refinements of existing techniques. NASA has developed a bold vision which focuses on robotic exploration of deep space to understand the origin of life, combined human-robotic exploration of Mars, safe and cost effective operation of the Space Shuttle and follow-on launch vehicles to orbit, the use of Earth orbiting satellites to establish cause and effect relationships associated with such important phenomena as global warming, and high quality, cost effective science from the International Space Station.

The IS Program intends to solicit proposals for research in the following five (5) areas:
(1) Automated Reasoning;
(2) Human-Centered Computing;
(3) Intelligent Data Understanding;
(4) Revolutionary Computing; and
(5) Evolvable Systems.

Participation in this NRA is open to industry, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations and U.S. Government agencies. Participation is also open to foreign organizations on a cooperative, no-exchange of funds basis.
