Frontier: Intelligent Decision Engine for Stable Adaptable Complex Systems

Frontier is a framework for a highly adaptable, stably reconfigurable, web–accessible intelligent decision engine developed to a) optimize the design of complex (particularly multi– asset or fractionated) systems, as well as b) simulate and operate systems distributed spatially and temporally in response to evolving needs and environments in support of the DARPA Tactical Technology Office (TTO) System F6 (Future, Fast, Flexible, Fractionated, Free–Flying) program. Innovatively and uniquely, Frontier is capable of absorbing and utilizing lessons learned and thus evolving from tool to tool user with tools via an adaptable framework utilizing an Intelligent Decision Engine (IDE) in a Web Support Environment (WSE). The IDE is based on a
