the company Knowledge Discovery and Security
Informatics, LLC with Prof. Bhavani Thuraisingham as
president.
The Company has Two Senior VPs (Profs. Khan and
Kantarcioglu) and one Principal Engineer
Joint proposal between KDSI and UTD has been
submitted to the DoD SBIR program
Mr. Jeffrey Partyka, a principal engineer at KDSI will be
the PI for the effort. Prof. Thuraisingham will lead the
effort from UTDallas
More SBIRs and STTRs planned

Software Support, Professionalization and
Packaging
0 Exploring how we can provide customer support to JENA (HP
Labs Bristol) and Black Book (Intelligence Community)
- www.semanticsupport.org
0 Professionalizing and packaging software developed at
universities so that Intelligence analysts can use them easily
- Employing MS students
0 Dedicated lab and center to conduct this activity – Software
support, professionalization and packaging
0 Output of this center will also include design manuals, best
practices and workshops
0 Security Engineering, which is a major aspect of System
Engineering will also be explored in this lab.

forensics course is utilizing the SAIAL lab to conduct projects. Both
the Minor and the SAIAL lab are part of UTD’s CyberSecuirty and
Emergency Preparedness Institute
0 Planning to introduce a Track in Semantic Web (or certificate). We
have an Adjunct faculty teaching the courses. Our professors will
take over some of the courses. Details of the track are available and
will be presented to the Faculty
0 Knowledge Discovery Track (or certificate) with courses in Data
Mining (techniques and applications), Statistics, Advanced Database
Management, Machine Learning
0 Discussions with Economics and Policy school for Geospatial
technology track/certificate
