Briefing to MITRE Chief Scientist• Title: Meeting on Industry Survey, Jan. 11, 2013, MITRE 3, Room 4T323, 1 - 3

p.m.• Host: Martin Hyatt, MITRE• Purpose: Survey what is going on commercially and match these capabilities

up with the government and then take it to the next level by experimenting with those products.

• Don Hutcheson, Chief Scientist: Start the meeting with a briefing on MITRE research roadmap, and potentially a case study that demonstrates the type of problems we face.

• Briefing: Mills Davis and Brand Niemann report on text analytics, semantic technologies, and big data in that order of priority by starting broad and then drilling down.

• Questions and Answers: Allow time for this by Chief Scientist and other invited attendees.

Martin Hyatt,MITRE

• Title: Disruptive Technologies: A History of Unintended Consequences– Disruptive technologies are ones that fundamentally affect future advancements.

Such technologies are marked by their cascading effect on similar technologies, their effect on interconnected technologies, their effect on society and culture, and the chance that their effects will be detrimental as well as beneficial.

• Author: While the other authors in this issue have immersed themselves in the details of their chosen emerging technology, Martin Hyatt works on a broad level involving a full spectrum of emerging technologies. He describes his role at MITRE as “looking at emerging technologies, their applications, and their social implications.” Since his graduate studies at Stanford University over a decade ago, Hyatt has been developing a methodology to unify the various structured approaches to invention. “It’s like a periodic table for creative methods,” Hyatt explains. Using this methodology, Hyatt can help researchers locate solutions in one field of emerging technology and apply them to vexing problems in another field.
