The Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) between Los Alamos and Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is an ongoing relationship intended to allow the parties to perform cooperative research and development in the area of Knowledge Management. The parties are currently exploring and concretizing their areas of joint research.

The LANL portion of the project is led by the Distributed Knowledge Systems and Modeling Research Team, in the Modeling, Algorithms, and Informatics Group (CCS-3) of the Computer and Computational Sciences Division.

The development and management of the Lab's informational and knowledge resources is a pressing vital need. The Cerro Grande fire reminded us all of the singularity, and therefore vulnerability, of these resources. We are pleased to help play a role in developing and maintaining a strong research capability in Knowledge Systems within the Lab directed towards the most current scientific ideas and technological capabilities of such systems. We are even more pleased to be partnering with Xerox PARC in this effort.

Members of the the Distributed Knowledge Systems and Modeling Research Team in the Modeling, Algorithms, and Informatics Group (CCS-3) are working on this project, along with colleagues from Statistical Sciences (TSA-1). We also have a close collaborative relationship with the Active Recommendation Project (ARP) between CCS-3 and the LANL Research Library.

Together with PARC we are developing collaborative research goals in a number of areas around Knowledge Management.
