The TA2 performer will create a closed and controlled environment where large amounts of data will be collected and experiments will be performed in support of the development and testing of TA 1 algorithms. One example of such an environment could be a closed social media network made up of two to five thousand people where participants have agreed to conduct a significant portion of their social media based activities within the network and agree to participate in the required data collection and experiments. Such a network might be formed within a single government, industrial or academic organization or across multiple such organizations. Another example of such an environment would be a massively multiplayer on-line role playing game where the use of social media is of central importance to game play and with tens of thousands of players that agree to participate in the required data collection and experiments.
The TA 2 performer will work closely with TA 1 and TA 3 performers to support the type of data collection, experimentation and evaluation required.
The type of data required for SMISC research potentially contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The TA 2 performer will be required to certify that no PII for U.S. persons was collected, stored or created in contravention to federal privacy laws, regulations and Department of Defense (DOD) policies. Proposers must address the collection and use of PII, if any, in their technical proposal. PII will not be provided to SMISC from another Government agency or from an outside source.
