Situation awareness can be thought of as the perception, comprehension, and projection of complex, dynamic
information, and is a common requirement for users in many modern domains. The Future Operations Centre
Analysis
Laboratory (FOCAL) is a research facility aimed at exploring paradigms for achieving situation awareness in
the mind
of the military commander. Situation awareness about local and world events is commonly achieved using news
media,
and in particular television news services. The Virtual Adviser is the software analogue of television news
presenters,
reporters, and experts; designed to brief and advise the military commander on relevant events and suggest
alternative
courses of action. This paper describes some early work in FOCAL towards development of a Virtual Adviser.
