The Matrix Mapper (MM) - This is a product for which the Aarktech - KBCRF consortium is looking for any of several options to develop the product that would mirror the capabilities of the Analysts' Notebook (AN), an application created by i2, an IBM subsidiary, which cannot be sold anywhere outside the US and Russia and is subject to stringent US Export Control (EC) regulations.
The AN is the most sought after (but not readily available) tool, worldwide, by global businesses as also the crime fighting, counter terrorist, counter insurgency and financial intelligence agencies of numerous countries. It has the capability to integrate mountains of text, video, audio, graphic and image data and to employ Big Data Analytics, Semantics, Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Knowledge Discovery methods to delineate the existence, incidence, pattern and correlation of linkages in order to throw up actionable and predictive results.
The tsunami of data being generated globally threatens to submerge and seriously impair the interests of government agencies as well businesses worldwide unless powerful tools are available to intelligently comprehend diverse data types like alpha-numeric, voice, video and graphic; analyse these tidal waves of data; decipher patterns as well as connections and arrive at inferences and conclusions that provide a firm basis for next steps be they brick and mortar or in cyber space.
Matrix Mapper would serve as the ultimate tool for very large scale, cross platform, data collation, mining, comprehension, analysis, networking/ pattern identification and prediction/ direction determination using knowledge discovery methods. The Matrix Mapper would, thus, prove indispensable to businesses in sectors as diverse as mining, oil & gas, power (generation & distribution), airlines, land and water transport, shipping, chain stores, agriculture/ food distribution, warehousing, courier concerns, accounting, banking and insurance. Government agencies/ departments which would find Matrix Mapper to be a kind of force multiplier include the defence forces, police, forest conservation, counter terrorism units, municipalities, railways and a variety of Public Sector Undertakings.

7. ANALYST’S NOTEBOOK
SENTINEL VISUALIZER
It is a visual intelligence analysis environment that
enables to quickly collate, analyze and visualize data
from disparate sources.
Is a Windows based application written in Visual
Studio .NET supporting an MSDE/SQL Server
database. It can connect to a shared server in the
office or run on your local database when you are in
the field.
It centralizes data from multiple sources.
Supports an unlimited number of databases.
The platform provides a flexible data-centric model
optimized for multidimensional data analysis, which is
a key requirement for collaborative working
environments. Increased understanding of the
structure, hierarchy, and method of operation of
criminal, terrorist and fraudulent networks. Data
visualization in 2D.
Data visualization capabilities including 2D and 3D link
charts and stereoscopic graphs.
Social Network Analysis (SNA) and quantitative
analysis techniques that combine organization
theories with mathematical models to help better
understand and target the dynamics of groups,
networks, and organizations.

Network Analysis.
8. ANALYST’S NOTEBOOK
SENTINEL VISUALIZER
Searching unstructured data using powerful search
capabilities to cast the net wide and deep to ensure
that no data is missed in supporting investigative and
operational activities.
Name disambiguation through aliases and fuzzy
searching.
It requires you to install a hardware dongle in order
to start the program.
No hardware dongle required.
Entities in Analyst's Notebook are shown with a builtin graphic by type (e.g. people).
Each entity in Sentinel Visualizer can have
its own picture that is displayed directly on your link
chart to let you better understand your data.
In Analyst's Notebook, every relationship and line is
the same. However the intensity and incidence of
relationships is clearly delineated.
Different types of links should be weighted differently
(e.g. a brother relationship is very different from two
people who attended a meeting). This is, however, not
possible in very complex cases with multiple nodes.
Timelines are integral to the defining of incidence and
relationships.
Sentinel Visualizer does Temporal Analysis. If your
relationships have information with start and/or end
times, they can be automatically plotted on a
timeline. This lets you quickly see when events occur
and for how long.
9.
10. Timeline analysis depicts events as they unfold
over time, allowing to understand cause and
effect, identify patterns, and decide upon appropriate
courses of action. Entities can be tracked over time,
to identify their associations with an event or incident.
Transaction pattern analysis enables display of a series
of transactions in chronological order. This helps to
reveal repetitions in patterns of activity and can help to
predict future behavior.
Based on its huge data base, Analyst’s Notebook has
the capability to predict the next event (Probability):
Locations
Persons involved
