This paper describes the Graphical Modeling System, a computer-based process for generating roadmaps. The system offers the following advantages and capabilities: (1) Graphically portraying relationships between research and potential applications; (2) Helping accelerate science conversion by promoting champion interest in further research development; (3) Showing the node-link relationships of a project/capabilities/requirements network; (4) Treating nodes (projects/capabilities/requirements) as multi-valued (multi-attributed) quantities which are allowed to exist in many different research-requirement pathways simultaneously. This multiple perspectives capability provides a more accurate depiction of the multi-application nature of most research and technology, and the software enables the user to highlight just those specific node-link subnetworks of interest (the desired researchrequirement. pathways) without being overwhelmed by all possible node-links which constitute the larger network; (5) Promoting communications; (6) Identifying science and technology gaps; and (7) Identifying obstacles to rapid and low-cost technology development.
