Darpa’s Gandalf first to start to use smart mobile phones for AI
Now that the phone in your pocket is a full computer with an always on internet connection life is about to change. In the same way that any algorithms can solve complex problems with many agents each of which is not so bright, so can lots of cell phone micro computers.
From the little bit of information Darpa has made public it looks like they are hoping to form a system, like the one in the Batman movie, that will allow them to locate a specific person or item of interest.
If you are interested in artificial intelligence, you should be learning how to write code for these mobile computers. for they are the future of the internet and artificial intelligence.
Your phone is about to become part of the smart swarm.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE: The Gandalf program is an advanced technology and development and demonstration program that is seeking solutions to the functions of radio frequency (RF) geolocation and emitter identification using specific emitter identification (SEI) for specific signals of interest. The ultimate goal of the Gandalf program is to enable a set of handheld devices to be utilized to perform RF geolocation and SEI on RF signals of interest to the Gandalf program. The specific goals and performance objectives associated with RF geolocation and SEI for the Gandalf system are classified. It is anticipated that DARPA-BAA-09-04 for the Gandalf Program will be released prior to the Industry Day.
When released, the BAA will be found on the FedBizOpps website,http://www.fedbizopps.gov . . .

I am waiting for mobile devices to be a little more intelligent with local communications and swarm behavior detection. How fast are the freeways going right now? How about the surface streets. Is there a car coming towards you really fast? Where is that ambulance or fire truck?
On the micro level, I would love to see them behave a little better in stores. If I am in Barnes and Noble, provide me with a map of the store, the ability to search, and guide me to books. Don’t make me wait around by that little kiosk that is locked for employees only.
I am very curious to see how the phones start to plug into each other to leverage shared knowledge, compute power, and create new knowledge.
