Jordan Grand Prix has signed up Scientio Inc., an artificial
intelligence and data mining specialist, to assist the team in various
problem-solving projects.

Scientio specialises in software which will be used to analyse Jordan's
technical data in various ways and assist in understanding links and
patterns between data sets. The artificial intelligence technology
employed can be applied with good effect to many areas of the team's
work - from pit stop strategies to aerodynamic data and in the future
Jordan may use Scientio technology for optimising mechanical designs and
to improve simulation driver models. The company's technology includes:
data mining techniques, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and software
which learns optimum solutions to problems.

James Key, Jordan's Head of Vehicle Science, said, "We welcome Scientio
and its technology to Jordan and look forward to a prolific future
partnership. There is a vast amount of data surrounding a Formula One
car, most of which can be linked in some way. We believe Scientio's
expertise will prove extremely useful in assisting us with pulling this
data together and understanding the car as a whole. We have already
identified many projects with which Scientio's assistance will be
fundamental. The first project to be undertaken concerns an important
area of performance which over time should reap some very interesting
results."

Dr. Andy Edmonds, technical director, of Scientio, said, "We're
delighted to be working with Jordan; they have a refreshing and open
attitude to technology. They've given us a wonderful opportunity to
demonstrate the benefits and performance of our products in one of the
most challenging environments."
