SUPERFUNCTIONCAPSTONE
BY CAPTAIN KEVIN M. SMITH (US NAVY (RETIRED), USA)
A superfunction is defined as a conceptual construct possessing higher order attributes that directly target key performance areas. Superfunctions typically integrate two or more traditional functions such that a set of correlated activity clusters are able to be performed without undue difficulty to achieve mission success.
Intelligent Systems and the Age of the Superfunction explores how the superfunction combines attributes that are organized in a powerful analytic framework to significantly improve mission success while simultaneously reducing complexity and excessively high workloads. Based on the real-world expertise of retired U.S. Naval aviator, author, speaker, and expert in critical thinking and advanced station design, Captain Kevin M. Smith, this video lecture is an essential educational resource for engineers, researchers, and graduate-level students.

Noted IGI-Global Author, lecturer and Journal Editor Captain Kevin M. Smith met with LT. General Stephen L. Kwast USAF, Commander and President, Air University, USAF and his close aids. The meeting was held at the Pentagon, October 22nd, 2015. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss new and innovative ways to improve the performance of Airmen in complex situations, optimize performance of large scale military systems, shorten the combat engagement decision cycle, and foster innovation.
The Air University is at the leading edge in e�orts to develop within the Force, advanced reasoning capabilities in order to seize opportunities in a rapidly changing operational environment and succeed in con�ict. Built around the core principles of Critical Thinking and Performance Agility, the Air University is engaged in rede�ning the content and delivery of instructional material that targets higher-order skills. The meeting was arranged by the American Leadership & Policy
Foundation (ALPF), a uniquely positioned think tank that is organized to clarify complex situations and develop enduring solutions to many of the critical challenges facing our national security interests. The Chairmen of ALPF, David Stuckenberg, was also in attendance.

The United States Airforce is taking a leadership position in the movement away from an overreliance on technology, towards a more balanced multi-dimensional operating platform that focuses on agility, analytic reason, knowledge fusion, and innovation acting in concert with technology to achieve signi�cantly higher levels of performance.
IGI Global is honored to assist the United States Airforce in important aspects of knowledge acquisition and delivery in a broad range of intellectual areas that target human understanding and performance. IGI Global is also proud to have an acclaimed and outstanding leader such as Captain Smith as part of our contributing sta�.
