The goal of research in the Intelligent Systems Division's Collaborative
and Assistant Systems (CAS) technical area is to design new information
technologies to facilitate the process by which NASA engineers,
scientists, and mission personnel collaborate and manage information in
their unique work settings. The reasearch activities in this area focus
on applying information/data/knowledge management techniques, artificial
intelligence methods, and computer-supported cooperative systems
methodologies that result in systems that are more usable, that augment
the human cognition, and that facilitate the specialized work of
distributed teams in NASA mission settings.

For the ROSES solicitation there are many opportunities for
collaboration between CAS researcher and space/earth scientists,
including work on scientific data management, data integration, decision
support, science mission management, and remote collaborative science.
