Abstract: In our proposal the basis of conceptual graph technology is described and a baseline system design is presented that would allow systems to share large amounts of knowledge securely using literally `bytes' of bandwidth. This innovative approach is based upon the use of conceptual graphs in a connectionist architecture to store knowledge in a secure compressed and open standard format using state tables of only ones and zeros that can be rapidly retrieved and decompressed after transmission.
Benefits: The Phase I program will lay the groundwork for full-scale development of an approach to define and demonstrate a concept for using conceptual graphs to transmit large amounts of knowledge using bytes of bandwidth that could be used for applications throughout the Navy and DoD. The Phase I program will identify those major knowledge-handling functions necessary to perform these tasks and to demonstrate some of their functionality. The Phase II program will fully develop and test the individual components and resolve key technical issues before going on to Phase III in which institutional funding will be sought to build a formal commercial software architecture.
