How about a software that can predict and perhaps stop terrorism, hmm I  bit quite skeptical about it, since even the US cannot stop the terrorism, but perhaps this software can be a new tool to predict and analyze the terrorism.

Researchers at the University of Maryland’s Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) , have build a SOMA Terror organization portal or STOP, that making analyst can study and learn the behavior of terrorist organization, and forecast the behavior and action based on the rules, and connect with other analyst to examine and exchange the result.

So basically this software using a logical-statistical reasoning framework that use a numerous data from past behavior to learn and predict the probability of an organization, community or person. It already generated up to ten of thousand rules behavior from 30 groups.

Well, if this software really can predict the terrorism, perhaps another goal is to cure world hunger.
