Welcome:


Who We Are
Cougaar Software, Inc. provides technologies and solutions for developers and integrators to create next generation intelligent systems. Our flagship product is ActiveEdge, a full featured development platform for creating distributed, intelligent agent solutions. We provide design, development and integration services for ActiveEdge and Open Source Cougaar, as well as training and technical support. Our typical intelligent systems solution addresses large, complex problems with signficant amounts of data which must be reasoned over and acted upon in near real-time. We specialize in designing and building systems around the Sense & Respond paradigm, and can span the spectrum from sensor devices to advanced decision support.




Our Product: ActiveEdge - An Intelligent Systems Development Platform
ActiveEdge is a Java-based solutions development and deployment platform, similar to J2EE, but designed around the Cognitive Grid. The Cognitive Grid is both a design methodology and a development technology. The methodology focuses on leveraging agent-oritented design in a distributed, rich knowledge model environment, typically having aspects of Situational Reasoning and Complex Planning / Execution. The Cognitive Grid technologies are an architecture level integration of Intelligent Agents, Grid Computing and the Semantic Web. Intelligent Agents provide the cognitive reasoning and intelligent automation, Grid Computing provides the SOA and distributed resource management components, the Semantic Web provides the machine understandable meaning of the information to suppot deep reasoning and knowledge-rich situational representations. Together the methodology and technology enable the creation of a whole new class of distributed, web-based application we call intelligent systems. Check out our knowledge center to learn more...



Our Benefit: Adding a Thin Layer of Intelligence to the Modern Enterprise
A core component of our approach to intelligent systems is the creation and utilization of rich situational representations for reasoning and decision support. These situations are defined using a sophisticated object-semantic model and the situational instance, called a construct, is composed off three integrated components - objects, networks and semantics managed by an advanced situational reasoning engine. The representation and engine allow us to create high-fidelity distributed representations of the situation, which then serves as the basis for deep reasoning, planning, visualization and decision support.
