Partnership with NuTech Solutions enables agent-based reasoning on ultra high resolution displays
NuTech Solutions, a leader in the commercialization of advanced software for modeling and prediction, will co-present the results of government-funded research on Wednesday, Nov. 1 on the Virginia Tech campus. The research project integrates NuTech’s Geospatial Agent-Based Reasoning (GeoABR) software with Virginia Tech’s ultra high resolution analytical workstation displays.
The demonstration of these scientific programs will highlight the capabilities of the two leading edge solutions, as they are transitioned to a developmental stage for application in future geospatial analytical systems used by U.S. government agencies.
NuTech Solutions’ GeoABR software provides government and commercial organizations access to diverse and exponentially expanding geospatial data resources using computational technologies that combine and reason about varied and massive data in a scalable fashion. The graphical user interface developed in collaboration with Virginia Tech geographers and HCI researchers allows non-programmers to create and modify rule sets for applications such as data triage and identification of areas of potential interest, as well as precisely tailored searches and early warning systems.
Bill Carstensen, professor of geography, in the College of Natural Resources’ Geospatial Information Technology Center, said that NuTech’s solution is unique in its use of logic and assumptions, which in many cases are time and processing sequence dependent. NuTech Solutions’ GeoABR software provides a key advantage by incorporating the time aspects of the procedure.
“As a result of our cooperation with Virginia Tech, NuTech’s GeoABR solution is enhanced for the benefit all GIS tools users,” noted Mario Inchiosa, Senior Scientist at NuTech Solutions.
