Decision-Zone Inc. Launches U.S. Subsidiary, Appoints Distinguished National Security Experts to Lead
October 29, 2024 –
Decision-Zone, Inc., a pioneering technology company based in Ontario, Canada, today announced the formation of its U.S. subsidiary, Decision-Zone USA, with the appointment of Dr. Starnes Walker as Chairman of the Board and Dan Fata as Chief Executive Officer. This strategic move aims to directly engage with U.S. federal agencies, including the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, to address the pressing need for advanced autonomous technology solutions in national security.
Dr. Walker, currently serving as a Global Strategy Officer for Defense and Homeland Security, brings a wealth of experience to Decision-Zone USA. He is also a Standing member of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for the National Academies. His distinguished career includes roles as Chief Technology Officer for cyber in the U.S. Navy, where he was instrumental in establishing the U.S. Fleet Cyber Command and the U.S. 10th Fleet, and as Director of Research at the Department of Homeland Security.
Following the appointment of our new Chairman, Decision-Zone USA is also proud to introduce Mr. Dan Fata as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Fata brings over 25 years of distinguished experience in defense, government, and strategic advisory roles. Previously, Mr. Fata served as Vice President for Policy and Strategy Engagement at Lockheed Martin, where he directed initiatives in defense and industry strategy. His past government roles include Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Europe and NATO Policy, and he has been an advisor to two Secretaries of Defense on policy for Canada, Europe, Russia, Eurasia, NATO, and the EU. As President of Fata Advisory, LLC, he has continued to provide insight to government and private sector clients, and he is actively engaged with leading think tanks, including the American Enterprise Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, and CSIS. His strategic vision and expertise will be invaluable as he leads Decision-Zone USA into a new era of innovation and growth.
Joining Mr. Fata on the Decision-Zone USA board is Dr. Nathan Kutz, whose expertise in applied mathematics, AI, and engineering will bring an invaluable perspective to our strategic initiatives. Dr. Kutz is a Professor of Applied Mathematics and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Washington. As Director of the AI Institute in Dynamic Systems, he leads cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and complex systems. Dr. Kutz is also a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Christ’s College, University of Cambridge, and a Visiting Professor at both The Alan Turing Institute and Imperial College London, where he contributes to advancements in aeronautical engineering and mathematics. Dr. Kutz’s technical insight will greatly enhance Decision-Zone USA’s capabilities and mission alignment as we continue to push the boundaries of technological innovation.
Decision-Zone USA will spearhead the deployment of the company’s groundbreaking DADA X platform, an autonomy platform that leverages a new method of computation called Event Computation. This innovative approach enables real-time decision-making at the edge of operations, revolutionizing multi-domain integration and command and control capabilities.
The DADA X platform is event-driven, programmed using an advanced language developed for DARPA at Stanford University. This language incorporates causal operators, enabling a level of speed, precision and explainability previously unattainable.
Decision-Zone USA is poised to play a crucial role in advancing U.S. military and intelligence capabilities. The company’s technology promises to address the integration of highly complex defense systems, accelerate decision cycles, and provide unprecedented levels of autonomy.
DADA X
vs.
Current AI
Our DADA X agent platform, offers a superior alternative to traditional LLM-based black box AI by prioritizing human control, transparency, adaptability, and ethical use. By embracing this next-generation technology, we can unlock new possibilities and ensure a safer, more beneficial future for human society.
The black box nature of LLMs raises ethical and security concerns, as creators struggle to maintain control and prevent detrimental consequences to humanity via unexpected and potentially harmful outcomes.
The DADA X Platform:
- Works with events, not data
- Decides first, then acts in real-time, not audit time
- Employs causality, not probability
- Is both holistic and decentralized
- Has autonomous correction and control capabilities
A New Paradigm
Machines that Think, Reason and Act
What Autonomous Agents Need Is 'Now'
The observing consciousness is aware of a stream of events passing into now. The agent’s activity is a dynamic projection from the past into the future.
Stored data exists inherently in the past. Live events are ephemeral.
An Agent must work in the present moment, observing, understanding, responding and controlling the live stream of complex events passing into the system.
Design Time Platform
Our no-code development experience reduces the development lifecycle from years to months.
The DADA X platform facilitates the development of various applications and services that leverage event-driven capabilities, fostering innovation and growth in multiple sectors.
Transforming application development from a data processing model to a real-time, event-driven model will lead to more responsive, scalable, and resilient applications that can react to changes and provide real-time insights.
- DADA X live anomaly and performance portal allows users to view performance of systems events and anomalous events graphically.
- Design time platform is used to verify the correctness of the model using simulated system events. Once the model has been verified, live system events are connected to the models for simulations and verifications.
- Rapide ADL pattern language causal operators have been ported into JAVA.
- Design time platform builds live process audit application for DADA X that is J2EE compatible.
Run-Time Platform
DADA X can monitor over 100 million events per second.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) must operate in real-time, not as a batch process. DADA X technology is the key to building cognitive and intelligent systems using discovered or predefined behavior models. It is the foundation of event-based AGI.
Models along with the system event sources are compiled into causal event patterns. The run-time platform deploys the causal event patterns into J2EE compatible DADA X engine and manages load balancing, alerts, response and smart data outputs to OLAP portals and existing JMX consoles.
- DADA X live audits every system event.
- There is no limit on how many event sources can be used.
- The live anomaly and performance portal allows users to view performance of systems events and anomalous events graphically for insight.
