Company Fact Sheet
Mission Stottler Henke applies artificial intelligence and other advanced software technologies to solve problems that defy solution using traditional approaches.
Solutions

Stottler Henke systems help organizations train their employees more quickly and cost effectively; schedule operations and allocate resources more effectively; capture and apply institutional knowledge; improve decision making; and efficiently develop intelligent software systems.

Intelligent Training Systems - complement traditional classroom and computer-based training (CBT) software by letting students “learn by doing,” using simulated scenarios. The systems apply intelligent tutoring system (ITS) techniques to infer each student’s understanding (and misunderstanding) of relevant concepts and principles from his or her actions. ITSs select scenarios for each student which use concepts and principles that are not well understood, to focus the student’s time on those areas which require the most attention and practice.

Intelligent Planning & Scheduling Systems - apply heuristics and algorithms used by human experts to solve scheduling problems whose constraints are too complex for traditional optimization or dispatch rule techniques.

Intelligent Knowledge Management & Discovery Systems - capture the knowledge of in-house experts as rules, models, and case bases of previously encountered situations and solutions. These knowledge repositories enable advisory systems to help companies assess situations, diagnose and repair problems, design products and processes more quickly and consistently, extract valuable knowledge from large databases, and conduct comprehensive online research.

Intelligent Decision Support Systems - help people assess situations, analyze information, and make predictions or decisions in areas such as equipment diagnosis, planning, and design. These systems apply the knowledge of experts, encoded as heuristic rules, computational models, or experiences.

Computer Security & Reliability Tools - enable automated and semi-automated detection, diagnosis, and recovery from computer system problems caused by faults, exceptional conditions, or deliberate attacks.

Products Stottler Henke offers an array of commercially-available software applications and tools that pertain to the various solution areas the company addresses. These include:
  • Aurora™, an intelligent planning and scheduling system that combines a variety of scheduling techniques, intelligent conflict resolution, and automated decision support to generate schedules for complex problems more effectively than traditional scheduling systems, quickly and easily
  • SimVentive™, to quickly create complete, Java-based training games and simulations
  • SimBionic®, an award-winning visual authoring tool and runtime engine for creating complex behaviors in training simulations and games quickly and easily, so these systems become more realistic, challenging, and engaging
  • Task Tutor Tooklit™, to create intelligent tutoring system scenarios quickly and easily, without programming
  • TaskGuide™, which enables organizations to rapidly develop intelligent, electronic job aids that help users carry out complex procedural tasks quickly and accurately
  • Aware™, an intelligent tool for searching the Internet that learns what the user is looking for and helps gather highly targeted results
  • Read-On!™, an intelligent tutoring system that teaches reading comprehension skills to adults by assessing and diagnosing each student's specific reading skill deficiencies and tailoring its instruction accordingly
  • SimCore!™ (Simulate, Coach, Review), an innovative tool for rapidly creating and deploying intelligent simulations to support distance learning for healthcare training
  • DataMontage™, a suite of software applications and Java software library for creating and presenting information-dense graphical displays to enable rapid, interactive visual analysis of complex, time-oriented data
Technology Expertise Stottler Henke is unique in the breadth of AI technologies it can employ to create software solutions: adaptive training systems, planning and scheduling, case-based reasoning, model-based reasoning, and data mining. The firm combines this AI expertise with broad skills in database design and application development, data visualization, object-oriented software development, statistical and time-series data analysis, and graphical user interface design.
