Center Abstract

 
 
     
  The Center for Defense Integrated Data (CDID), located at JSU’s e-Center, was established in 2004 as the decision-support research arm for the University’s School of Engineering. The Center’s mission is to provide comprehensive research and development in the fields of data fusion, intelligent decision support and risk assessment. Such work has been applied to homeland security, emergency management, transportation risk assessment and disaster response. CDID conducts advanced research in engineering and computer science and is composed of partners from Jackson State University, The University of Mississippi, The University of Southern Mississippi, and Radiance Technologies, Inc.
