 Wired 8.02: The Quest for Meaning
Autonomy's founder, Michael Lynch, likes to say that he's aiming for Autonomy to become "the Oracle of unstructured data." His company is thriving at the intersection of two Net-driven trends: the push toward personalizing services and the explosion of information in text form.
Autonomy is one of a number of companies specializing in knowledge management, an industry growing as fast as the Internet itself.
What makes Autonomy's products different is an underlying pattern-recognition algorithm, derived from Bayes' formulations, which empowers computers to act as if they possessed abilities we think of as subtly and profoundly human: comprehending context, generalizing from words to an idea, even understanding the unspoken by grasping the root concepts beneath the play of syntax.

 Switch: Social Software: Joel Slayton
Software drift is the continuous structural change evidenced as software seeks to both sustain and re-define an appropriate ontogeny.
Software ontogeny is not fixed rather it scales in a fluid transition from machine code to interface as social entailments emerge from interacting sub-cultures of data relations.
The observation of software as a composite of internal and external identities is obvious.

Software like L2 that can find failures in systems before problems become critical will significantly reduce NASA mission operations costs and boost mission efficiency, and could one day save a rover, a spacecraft, or even a human life.
JPL's autonomy software, the Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment (ASE), is in control of EO1, launched in 2000 as a platform for testing new technologies and strategies for improving missions while reducing cost and development time.
Meanwhile, software code is growing in size as vehicles become more complex, introducing more likelihood for errors, creating a prime opportunity for L2 to add value.

 NASA IS/AR/Automated Software Engineering for Autonomy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Automated Software Engineering for Autonomy (ASEA) helps build highly reliable software for the other AR technical areas (and for all IS applications).
Autonomy software is very difficult to develop because so many processes can be happening and interacting at once, and because the software must allow for multiple faults in the controlled or coordinating subsystems.
Software development and testing has become a significant portion of the overall costs of current missions.

 NASA Ames Research Center OpenSource   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
At present, there is a large gap between autonomy software (at the research level) and software that is ready for insertion into near-term space missions.
First, since high-level autonomy software is intended to control a complete robotic system, a variety of models (terrain, kinematics, dynamics, sensors, power, electromechanical subsystems, etc.) are required.
Third, because autonomy software is generally developed on a wide variety of platforms and may target robotic systems that are still under development, mixed operating system support and flexible interfaces are needed.
