Abstract
We have prototyped a multimedia tool to visualize the readiness of US Army War Reserve equipment. In contrast to previous efforts, our system allows the readiness to be visualized across several dimensions and to mediate existing heterogeneous data sources. Our front end Java applet enables multimedia and multidimensional visualization and allows a small client to access the mediation server from any networked location. The mediation server employed in this application is the Heterogeneous Reasoning and Mediator System (HERMES) which works with existing data and knowledge paradigms to resolve conflicts and generate sophisticated conclusions.
