Projects
School of Psychology
Professor John Patrick & Professor Dylan Jones: Funded by the Data & Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre, 2006-2009, £247K. Multivariant Information Management and Exploitation (MIMEX) collaborative project with General Dynamics UK and Southampton University.
The School of Psychology, Cardiff, is focusing on improving task-relevant processing through Human Factors. This project aims to identify interface manipulations that will improve human processing of information in intelligence gathering search tasks.
Professor John Patrick: Temporal Debiasing Decision Key (TEDDY).Funded by the Data & Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre, 2006-2009, £198K.
This project examines the importance of the temporal dimension to comprehension of the causal interrelationships between events in dynamic, complex situations.
Professor John Patrick, Professor Dave Marshall & Professor John Miles.Two interdisciplinary studentships part funded by industry and part by the Schools of Engineering, Psychology and Computer Science.
These interrelated studentships aim to analyse and improve design problem solving.
Professor John Patrick, Dr Simon Banbury, Dr Andrew Howes & Professor Dylan Jones: Designing integrated displays to support team Situation Awareness. Funded by the Data and Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre, £222K, 2003-2006.
This project investigated the effects of varying the Information Access Cost (IAC) on both performance and retention, including qualitative differences in strategies. It also examined the effect of permanent versus temporary availability of information and disentangled various theoretical explanations for superiority of the latter type.
Schools of Computer Science and Engineering
Professor David Marshall and Professor Ken Lever: Funded by the Data and Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre, £275K, 2003-2007. Characterisation, modelling and mitigation of impairments produced by radio channels, sensors and communication equipment for data fusion. Joint project Schools of Computer Science and Engineering.
This project aims to model sensors and the network of sensors in order that effective communications can be established and maintained, and the performance of the sensors and the network can be monitored, so that confidence in the integrity of the data may be estimated and used in subsequent data/information processing activities.
Professor David Marshall: Statistical data fusion of battlefield data. Funded by the Data and Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre, £275K, 2003-2006.
This project aims to develop novel statistical methods based on recent research into Transferable Belief Models to allow more effective reasoning with data that contains uncertainties or situations where knowledge is completely absent. Most current statistical methods have difficulty in dealing with such data.
