U.S. Army and university scientists are turning to problems with social media to create social sensing as a scientific discipline.

The proliferation of computers and wireless communications has led to a huge volume of information that is difficult to assess on the battlefield, says U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) researcher Lance Kaplan.
ARL scientists, along with scientists from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, found a similar problem with data volume in social media that makes it difficult to ascertain credibility.
