	The software is designed to simulate human interaction and decision making processes and was invented on Earth by the Tatsuo Kobayashi. Its primary use is as a semi-aware computer operating system. The software is not sentient and does not have personality in the traditional sense but does develop a dynamic interaction protocol which does make the computer seem to have a personality of its own.

The software is an adaptive control system, designed to simulate human interaction and decision making processes and was invented on Earth by the Tatsuo Kobayashi. Its primary use is as a semi-aware computer operating system.

	== Control Interface ==		== Control Interface ==
	The basic control interface is a 3D holographic interface projected in short range from the control surface and provides a manipulatable surface for users to control. The system is adaptive and can be pictorial with iconography denoting functions or pure command-line driven with any level of function in-between. The default is a mix of the two with clean lines and very little skeuomorphism, using multiple interface layers to facilitate multitasking. An immersive 3D environment can also be used to bring the user into a virtual world which denotes system function, this is most often used completely mentally using a [[Headjack]] or other neural interface or it can be done with the use of a holodeck. Engineers will use this immersive system often for diagnostic purposes and it allows for maximum display of complex information.

			== Control Interface ==
			The basic control interface is a 3D holographic interface projected in short range from the control surface and provides a manipulatable surface for users to control. The system is adaptive and can be pictorial with iconography denoting functions or pure command-line driven with any level of function in-between. The default is a mix of the two with clean lines and very little skeuomorphism, using multiple interface layers to facilitate multitasking. An immersive 3D environment can also be used to bring the user into a virtual world which denotes system function, this is most often used completely mentally using a [[Headjack]] or other neural interface or it can be done with the use of a holodeck. Engineers will use this immersive system often for diagnostic purposes and it allows for maximum display of complex information.

	== Sentience ==		== Sentience ==
	~~Because~~ ALICE software is not truly self aware or conscious in it can perform complex activities with ~~moderate~~ decision making but it cannot choose to work independently outside of its programmed responses. ~~With enough information in its database and the addition~~ of ~~an automated repair and maintenance system for physical tasks ALICE can operate a moderate sized starship effectively without human interaction, though combat~~ or ~~similarly dynamic situations are not recommended.~~		Although ALICE software is not truly self aware or conscious, it can perform complex activities with advanced decision making but it cannot choose to work independently outside of its programmed responses. The programmed system is incapable of true intelligence or advanced problem solving outside of its explicit programming, it is adaptive and can learn new tasks over time. It can appear to be somewhat self aware but the system is designed to not be complex enough to attain sentience.

	~~[[:Category:Starfleet\|Starfleet]] has shifted a good deal~~ of ~~focus to this type of system since~~ it ~~does not pose the moral ambiguities associated with sentient computer software such as the EMH system or a [[QUINN AI\|QUINN]].~~

	~~== Holographic Interface ==~~
	~~Support for a holographic interface~~ is ~~also included, the default interface image is that of the creator's daughter~~. ~~The idea is that a computer would~~ be easier and more efficient to operate for humans if direct human style interaction was possible even without such sophisticated AI as the EMH software whete sentience is possible. Kobayashi was also firmly against the ~~development of sentient AI systems for widespread use, believing that the moral and ethical questions such development raised should be answered first. As such his~~ system is designed to ~~demonstrate that QUINN level AI is unnecessary~~ to ~~provide personal human-level interactions with a ships computer~~.

	==~~= Templates =~~==		== Interactive Voice Interface ==
	~~The default~~ interface ~~image can be replaced by any holographic template~~, ~~although safeguards are in place to prevent~~ the ~~use~~ of a ~~template based on a living person as Kobayashi foresaw that such~~ use ~~could create significant problems with privacy~~ and ~~identity if used on a large scale~~.		An interactive voice interface is available, though is seldom used without direct cause. The system and project a humanoid form with the templates below. The main purpose of this is to provide a workable interface for someone unable to use the standard control interface. This includes emergency situations or situations of infirmity, where the user is physically incapable of getting to the controls.

			== Remote Terminals ==
			Remote systems such as the [[Vertex Scanner]], [[Solas Tempus Communicator]], and even a [[SPERO]] can access the ALICE interface of remote systems. Each of these decides uses the ALICE Interface standard as well, but as the systems are linked via [[BlueNet]] each terminal can act as a remote interface for any other terminal. The usual linkage of this is for a Vertex Scanner, [[Communicator]], or SPERO to relay commands to a fixed terminal. It does not have to be this way though, and the reverse is also possible.
