Ontology and Language for Intelligent Reusable Autonomy
Project Introduction
The innovation consists of enabling “thinking” by the autonomous system, so that autonomous strategies may be inferred by the computers as a thought process. The autonomous capability will be developed to be able to analyze the system it is running by using concepts, and models that employ the concepts. Ontology (language and semantics) is needed to achieve what could be called Intelligent Autonomy, but it must be application independent to the highest degree possible.
