Government Contract Research and Development

Teknowledge’s Government R&D Contracts segment works in cutting edge research areas with significant application potential. The techniques for managing knowledge systematically have progressed significantly in the past two decades, but we have a long way to go to unlock the business potential of systems that encode and process knowledge. The World Wide Web provides a high-powered distribution mechanism for these technologies, and much of the work Teknowledge does is focused on leveraging web-based opportunities. However, knowledge is still managed haphazardly in most large organizations, with rapid change and turnover taking a toll on productivity. Today, computers mostly respond to us by executing our commands, rather than as interactive colleagues or associates that model who we are, the application domains that we work in, or the generic tasks that we perform. Teknowledge has been developing systems that address some of these features in web-based tutoring and semantic search application domains. This remains a fruitful research area, and a substantial long-term opportunity for our business.
