The document summarizes a panel discussion at the North Carolina Federal Advanced Technologies Symposium on May 9, 2013 about human/social sciences and advanced analytics. The panel was hosted by various government and academic organizations and discussed IntePoint's work on the DARPA ACSES project integrating multiple social science theories into an agent-based modeling simulation. IntePoint demonstrated how this simulation could be combined with infrastructure analysis to evaluate plans of action. IntePoint has over 10 years of experience transitioning research into usable modeling capabilities through projects for the US government.

 IntePoint partnered with the Complex Systems Institute (UNCC), Oak
Ridge National Lab, and Georgia Tech on for the ACSES DARPA
project
 We demonstrated the capability to computationally combine
and compare multiple social science theories to provide
robust plausible futures
 The multi-model CAS simulation was incorporated into Vu, an
interdependency consequence analysis capability to extend
the results to include critical infrastructure
 Team is currently authoring a book on complicated CAS
modeling techniques
 The ACSES model has been applied to Mali and Kenya for an ERDC
program
 We continue to drive to a rigorous and actionable modeling
framework that supports more granular, less tightly coupled agent
models
 This unique approach is immediately applicable for training exercises
and JIPOE supporting analysis
 Will require 2 – 3 years of additional development and V&V before
being deployable as a planning and campaign tool.

For the DARPA ACSES project the team developed a platform that integrated
multiple, alternative social science theories into a unified simulation
framework. Additionally, using existing capabilities, we integrated that CAS
model with an infrastructure analysis for a PMESII/COA analysis.
 Social science theories included citizen allegiance and ideology, behavior of
citizen agents, and social mobilization theories
 Demonstrated quantifiable and realistic effects and identified threshold
events for simulation of nonlinear phenomena including both expected and
unexpected results
 Simulates dynamic networks of repeated feedback systems among agents
 Exposes causal relationships that support analysis and insight for DIME
options
The team leveraged the Vu
interdependency analysis
capability for a DARPA project
that incorporated multiple social
science (CAS/agent) leadership
models to obtain a more robust
understanding of population
responses to events/COAs

 IntePoint has teamed with UNC-Charlotte since 2003 to provide the
integrated modeling and simulation capability for a USG program by
translating research into actionable tools.
 IntePoint has experience in net-centric and desktop software
development services in both classified and non-classified environments
 Ideas have been taken from initial concept through research, design,
development, testing, DODIIS accreditation and deployment (TRL 1 – 9)
 IntePoint has a 100% success record in completing all contract deliverables,
within-budget and often ahead of schedule
 The USG invested >$14M in cumulative funding to develop the capability
for interdependency analysis and modeling & simulation capability used
to support functional defeat and system of systems analysis
 By capturing the intellectual property created through these contracts,
IntePoint has independently developed a web-based COTS product (Vu),
obtained three patents, has several pending patents, and 15+ publications
in academic literature
 Our interdependency experience has been applied in multiple DOD
agencies, DHS, and commercially at Wachovia Bank and Wells Fargo
 Recently signed a teaming agreement to leverage Vu to support state of
the art monitoring and analysis for the electric power grid
The IntePoint team has 10+
years of successful collaboration
in transitioning ideas through
research into useful capabilities.

 For a USG program, the team researched, designed, and developed an accredited and
deployed interdependency analysis capability used to support system of systems analysis
 Vu is a domain agnostic analytics capability for integrated modeling and simulation that
helps analysts to better understand multiple complex, interdependent infrastructure
networks (e.g., electrical power, road/rail, petroleum & telecoms, etc.) in context (E.g.,
functional, spatial, temporal, social…)
 Vu helps analysts to visual, understand, and explore:
 Network behaviors
 Network interdependency behaviors
 Cascading effects
 Disruptive and reconstructive events
 Vu supports a broad range of objectives including vulnerability analysis, impact analysis,
training, reconstruction, stability operations
 Visual analytics consist of geospatial, temporal, and logical network graphs
 Extensible platform designed to modularly incorporate external domain models,
relationship modules and data
 Effective in both high and low fidelity data environments
IntePoint is a web enabled
interdependency M&S and
analytics for multiple complex
networks
