ADVISE (Analysis, Dissemination, Visualization, Insight, and Semantic Enhancement) is a research and development program within the United States Department of Homeland Security Threat and Vulnerability Testing and Assessment (TVTA) portfolio. It is reported to be a massive data mining system [1] with the ability to store 1 quadrillion data entities. The data can be everything from financial records, phone records, emails, blog entries, website searches, and any other electronic information that can be put into a computer system. This information then would be connected to any given American citizen and assess the probability that he or she is a terrorist.
The exact scope and degree of completion of the program is unclear. ADVISE is in the 2004–2006 Federal DARPA Budget as a 47 million dollar program which includes datamining, analysis and related detention and continuity of government programs.
