# Support for Predicting Improvised Explosive Device Attacks **Domain:** Austin Research / Programs **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope. **Support for Predicting Improvised Explosive Device Attacks (SPIED)** is the ONR project listed in Barber’s UT CV for August 15, 2005–September 30, 2008, with $900,000 in funding. It supplies a specific grant-record bridge from UT’s distributed reasoning work into attack prediction before the 2009 DHS sensor/social-network award. Its role in the corpus is investigator and research continuity across security and later biological-surveillance uses. The cited CV establishes the award entry. Details of its deployed algorithms, effectiveness, and relationships to operational [[wiki/Task Force ODIN|Task Force ODIN]] remain unresolved in that record. ## Connected entries [[wiki/Suzanne Barber|Suzanne Barber]] · [[wiki/Office of Naval Research|Office of Naval Research]] · [[wiki/REBIT|REBIT]] · [[wiki/Sensor and Social Networks Armed to Detect and Defend against Terrorist Attacks|Sensor and Social Networks Armed to Detect and Defend against Terrorist Attacks]] · [[wiki/Epidemiological and Threat Network Analysis|Epidemiological and Threat Network Analysis]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Executable Loop|The Austin Executable Loop — master document]] - [K.
