Abstract

We propose the architecture for integration of information assurance, knowledge base, and information fusion with the main purpose for understanding forensics and digital evidence. This architecture will be very useful in several applications: (1) identification of important software modules needed for a comprehensive decision support system for information assurance (or other functionalities), (2) a "roadmap" for planning and monitoring R&D activities in information technology, (3) a big picture (bird-eye view) of various R&D program activities in major funding agencies (such as DARPA, AFOSR, ONR, ARO, NSF, etc.).
