CMI's Deception Research in the News
Click to read Discovery News Article
New technology could lead to computers that can discern lying and deceptive behavior in people. The technology, being developed by scientists at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey and the University of Arizona, aims to supplement routine interrogation sessions conducted by law enforcement personnel.
Top U.S. Researchers Discuss Lying on Capitol Hill

| Dr. Burgoon's presentation
Since September 11, 2001 preserving the safety and security of U.S. citizens has produced heightened interest in detecting deception on the part of potential terrorists. Are there ways to safeguard the country through the use of well-researched techniques for identifying deception and deceptors? Are there strategies our security agencies can use to uncover threats to the nation before they occur? Three distinguished social/behavioral scientists will discuss their research on these topics.

CMI Led Symposiums & Workshop
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
Link to More Information
In 2006 there are 2 symposiums and a tutorial you may be interested in participating in during HICSS. The symposium papers can be published in the proceedings if it is submitted via the HICSS peer review system that will be open 15MAY05 or if your paper is not ready for publication in the proceedings you can submit them directly to me or Jay. In the tutorial we are looking for folks who want to share hands on experiences using technology to detect deception and intent. Final papers due 15JUN05 Soon CMI will have a mirror of parts of the HICSS website for one stop shopping on these two symposiums and turorials.
Network Centric Operations Asia Pacific Conference in Singapore
CMI researchers, along with REINFORCE consulting partner Lex Bubbers, led a hands-on workshop to kick off the Network Centric Operations Asia Pacific Conference in Singapore. The workshop was sold out with business and military attendees from 14 nations. Participants used StrikeCom, a game developed at CMI to learn core lessons on the impact of Network Centric concepts uncovered in two case studies presented at the workshop. The case studies, funded by the Office of Secretary of Defense's Office of Force Transformation, investigated the impact of new collaborative capabilities on the United States Navy during Operation Enduring Freedom and NATO's Immediate Reaction Task Force.
Workshop participants stated the partnership of academicians and consultants was valuable in providing both theoretical and practical understanding of Network Centric concepts. StrikeCOM successfully drove home teaching points and illustrated real world concerns associated with technological transition. One participant, an executive from Sun Microsystems India, stated the use of the game was an amazing teaching tool that gave him understanding of the impact shared visualization on collaboration. That alone, made the conference worthwhile.

DoD Awards $43.5 Million to Universities for Research
This equipment allows CMI to capture, index, store and retrieve high-fidelity digital speech, text and visual data from sources such as email, radio and television, and videoconferencing. This capability subsequently enables behavioral coding by both automated systems and by humans.
The Center for the Management of Information (CMI) at the University of Arizona was awarded $285,576 from the Department of Defense. This U.S. Air Force sponsored grant will support the purchase of research instrumentation for CMI's Deception Detection Integrated Multimedia System (D-DIMS). This system is housed in the newly built Deception Detection Laboratory located in the College of Business' McClelland Hall. The award is made under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). The DURIP supports the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment that augments CMI's data collection capabilities and permits the development of new prototypes for cutting-edge defense research.
The DURIP meets a critical need by enabling CMI to purchase this scientific equipment that is difficult to acquire utilizing the funds from research grants due to its high cost. The award is the result of a merit competition for DURIP funding by the Army Research Office, Office of Naval Research, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. CMI has two research efforts that will take advantage of this new instrumentation. The first is a $3.93M awarded for Detecting Deception in the Military Infosphere: Improving and Integrating Human Detection Capabilities with Automated Tools. The second is a $1.5M award from the Department of Homeland Security for Automated Determination of Intent.
