Automated Learning for Real-Time Expert System in Anomaly Detection

Interface & Control Systems, Inc.

Indialantic , FL

• SensorMiner, is a tool that specializes in real-time, embedded and autonomous command and control software systems.
• Applies the generated model to on-line, real-time data, detects on line (real-time) anomalies and reports anomalies to the operator with explicit information.

• Development stage: SensorMiner commercial version available.
• The technology was built upon portable, embeddable Spacecraft Control Language (SCL) architecture and was proven in control centers for DoD and NASA.
• The technology keeps the human in the loop and has enabled the Space Shuttle Main Engines to "think" for themselves. Resulted in savings on manpower ($300,000 per year for NASA).

• The Sensor Miner toolset is a commercially available product that Interface & Control Systems (ICS) is marketing to existing Control System and Test Set markets.
• ICS provides the essential products and services necessary to support mission-critical applications in Aerospace and Intelligence industries.
• Primary target/Potential Market sectors: Satellite Control Centers, Test Sets and Post-Test Analysis, Industrial Control and Monitoring and Medical/Biological Monitoring.
• Unique competitive advantage: Companies have relied on SCL as the core component of mission critical systems.

• The technology is used to populate the SCL Rule-Based Expert System with monitor and control rules for a Space Shuttle Main Engine data stream.
• The tool is robust enough to be fielded to other domains at NASA KSC, and other DoD and civilian programs.
• Intelligent, real-time alerts can be generated based on any event whether directly received from sensor data or derived from algorithms.
• With 24/7 reliability, full scalability, and plug-in capabilities for new, extended, or legacy technologies.
