Applied Decision Engineering - Analytics on Analytics (A2O) and Advanced Analytics on Analytics (A3O)

The continual punctuation by disruptive technologies as well as planned technological evolutions have led to increased interconnectedness among a plethora of unanticipated, disparate actors. This phenomenon has been accompanied by an increase in the speed of propagation by which the consequences of a new range of interactions ripple across the world. These accelerating worldwide interactions reduce the time available to actively query, collect, analyze, evaluate, and actuate upon a burgeoning corpus of diverse Big Data. In essence, there is less time to make decisions, and functionally speaking, the resultant compressed decision cycles pervade the decision-making realm in a manner that results in the backdrop of a daunting 21st century decision-making landscape.

Within this landscape, the art and science of Decision Engineering necessitates a sophisticated approach by which human decision-makers can actively immerse themselves in Big Data Analytics so as to achieve Big Insight. The well-known exemplar of high-frequency trading, which now accounts for a substantive portion of equity exchange trading volume, demonstrates that human decision-makers may not necessarily be able to keep up with the oncoming torrent of speed-of-light data accumulation. Yet, there is a distinct need for human intuition to be coupled with machine-speed decision-support architectures. Decision-making amidst the current paradigm of compressed decision cycles characterizes the majority of our engagements that reside within the realm of Applied Decision Engineering.

An Exemplar Case Study:
Archipelagos

Applied Decision Engineering for the electrical grids
of Archipelago States and Nations

Critical Infrastructure Protection:
Illuminating the dependencies of water, sewer, and other essential services upon the electrical grids of Archipelagos...

From archipelago states (e.g. Hawaii) to archipelago nations (e.g. Philippines), legacy critical infrastructure abounds. The photographs on this page illuminate the complexities that decision-makers face — along the Applied Decision Engineering pathway — to effectuate a more resilient electrical grid. In accordance with the State of Hawaii's Sustainability and Resiliency Initiative, Vit Tall served as the operationalizing agent for various actors from government, industry, and academia to establish a Public Private Partnership Initiative (P3I) office for the State of Hawaii's Department of Defense (DOD).

Pursuant to the State of Hawaii's 14-02 Administrative Directive of May 19, 2014, the DOD explored the notion of a more resilient grid as well as enhanced critical infrastructure protection (CIP), via collaboration with organizations from select members of The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) community.

These efforts migrated to other federal groups, and the notion of grid resiliency was operationalized within several ASEAN countries, such as, among others, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. These grid resiliency efforts have resulted in enhanced grid efficiency, stability, resiliency, sustainability, and interoperability among the involved ASEAN member nations.

The Vit Tall Analytical Framework

First unveiled at Stanford University on August 22, 2012 during the Department of Defense & Security Innovation Network venue, "Bridging the Gap between Silicon Valley & The Beltway."

Karassian Netchain Analytics (KNA)

A methodological approach, which fuses karass detection, network science, and supply chain analysis
Part of the Vit Tall Analytical Approach, it was introduced during a briefing in September 2012 in preparation for a U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Workshop and briefed on October 14, 2012 at the 8th Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Collaborative Computing in Pittsburgh, PA.

Analytics on Analytics (A2O) and now Advanced Analytics on Analytics (A3O)

A methodological approach, which hybridizes hermeneutic examination, complexity science, and interstitial analysis
Part of the Vit Tall Analytical Approach, it was presented in April 2012 at the headquarters of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and briefed on July 11, 2014 at the 24th Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise while aboard the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan.

Resilience Design Analytics (RDA)

A methodological approach, which mitigates against blindspots and brittleness
Part of the Vit Tall Analytical Approach, it was discussed at a private session at the National Academies in November 2013 and briefed on May 16, 2014 in Los Angeles, CA as a preview of the 23rd World Economic Forum on East Asia "Connect on Technology" Panel.

Strategic Analytics Advisors - Energy Resiliency Analytics Advisors

For the past several years, we have been privileged and honored to have served as strategic analytics advisors to international organizations, governments, universities, and members of the Fortune 500 in the energy sector. We have provided service as energy resiliency analytics advisors across the Indo-Asia-Pacific. We have also been of service in Africa and the Middle East as well as in the Americas. Energy efficiency, stability, resiliency, sustainability, and interoperability have been the consistent themes of our work product deliverables as well as Critical Infrastructure Protection. Analytics on Analytics (A2O) as well as Applied Decision Engineering has been what those we serve ask for.

A Boutique Data Analytics Software and Services Firm – Elegant Engineering Intervention Strategies

Over time, we have come to specialize in Applied Decision Engineering for the electrical grid of archipelago states and nations. As a boutique data analytics software and services firm, we have spent long hours refining our analytical framework and how we perform vulnerability analyses and risk assessments. We are always learning, and complex systems integration has been part of our fabric. We are ever-striving to provide enhanced value-added proposition for the cadre of select organizations that we have had the privilege and honor of serving, and we are dedicated to rendering the most cost-effective, pragmatic, and elegant engineering intervention strategies that we can.

Continuous Streaming Big Data-based Analytics – Applied Decision Engineering

The consistent request from our area of responsibility is for “Continuous Streaming Big Data”-based analytics or, more simply, Big Data Analytics. The mantra that “decision-making based upon real-time data analytics is instrumental for mission success” - or, more simply, Applied Decision Engineering - resounds throughout the region. We are a dedicated, hard-working group of data scientists, information technologists, and engineers that are passionate about what we do and believe in striving towards Big Insight. The notion of “Imagineering” (a portmanteau of the words "imagination" and "engineering," where imagineering is the actualization of creative ideas in pragmatic form) pervades our team in each task that we engage in and for every day that we work. Many thanks for visiting our website, and we thank you in advance for the opportunity to be of service.
