This page presents the results of a technology integration experiment (TIE) under the DARPA/Rome-Lab Planning Initiative between Carnegie Mellon's Prodigy/CBMIP case-based mixed-initiative planner, BBN's ForMAT2 force management and analysis tool, and the University of Maryland's PARKA Parallel Knowledge Representation system. The Joint Assistant for Deployment and Execution (JADE) is an integrated mixed-initiative prototype whose goal is to provide military planners with the ability to generate a skeleton deployment plan within an extremely fast time period. That is, JADE can generate an 80% logistics solution in less than an hour. ForMAT2 provides a drag and drop interface to the human deployment planner, Parka provides the high performance knowledge base to past deployment plans, and Prodigy/CBMIP provides modifications suggestions to the human user to facilitate the reuse of past plans in new situations. The JADE technology is demonstrated in a highly complex and realistic Pacific Command crisis scenario.
