# Welcome

UCF’s Analytics Decision and Control Laboratory (ADC Lab) is dedicated to solving an array of complex problems of national importance. In addressing reserach topics we work to understand and charactorize stochastic systems (especially human-in-the-loop decision systems) with the goal of providing optimal solutions and policies. Researchers regularly work with industry, government, and university partners to create robust solutions geared towards real-world applications. To date, the ADC Lab has received generous support from NSF, ONR, AFRL, Simio, and UCF, along with funding through our partnership with DHS through the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education (NCITE) Center of Excellence.

The ADC Lab is a part of the UCF ecosystem of excellence, for which we are an integral part, and more so, we leverge through our research partnerships. UCF is ranked #5 in Transportation Science, #36 in Industrial Engineering, #36 in Artificial Intelligence, and #3 in Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://web.adc-ucf.com/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
