Intelligence Analysis Using Titan

Abstract

The open source Titan informatics toolkit project, which extends the visualization toolkit (VTK) to include information visualization capabilities, is being developed by Sandia National Laboratories in collaboration with Kitware. The VAST Contest provided us with an opportunity to explore various ideas for constructing an analysis tool, while allowing us to exercise our architecture in the solution of a complex problem. As amateur analysts, we found the experience both enlightening and fun.
