Sentinel TMS
 

FMS Advanced Systems Group: ASG Labs

 
As a company dedicated to applying advanced technology and new methods to problems, we have a vigorous internal research and development focus. Under the umbrella of the Advanced Systems Groups labs, our team works on novel applications of technology to address key customer objectives. This page highlights some of those efforts.


Current Research Projects
 

Open Source Intelligence

During the Sentinel TMS development process, we have built an extensive database of entities and relationships pertaining to the Al Qaeda terrorist network. This database has been used as a test-bed for Sentinel TMS in order to tune our algorithms and build new visualization models. TrackingTheThreat is the open-source version of that database, made public to aid in the general research of terrorist networks, and to solicit feedback from individuals or organizations interested in the field of threat network analysis and visualization.

Web-Based Network Visualization

Sentinel TMS offers advanced and powerful visualizations as a rich-client application. What happens when you need to move interactive visualizations to the web? We have been working on a scaled-down web-friendly version of network graph navigation developed in the Flash environment. Flash's ubiquity on the web, combined with its programming capabilities, offers an intriguing platform for web visualizations.

Large Scale Email Analysis

With the burgeoning reliance on email as a primary communications medium, the amount of information in email stores is increasing exponentially. What kind of information can you extract from email communities through automated analysis? We have been working on applying graph theory and Social Network Analysis to this problem. By building graphs based on the To: and From: addresses, we can build the basic constructs of an organization. Further refinements such as using the Cc: data to expand communities, and Bcc: to identify trust networks allow us to expand and refine the model around any community or organization that communicates via email.
