Management and Orchestration of Autonomous Cyber Things

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of Management and Orchestration (M and O) for autonomous agent things. The battlefield of tomorrow will consist of a multitude of things communicating, acting, and collaborating with each other. Battle things may be defensively or offensively purposed consisting of heterogeneous controllers, sensors, and actuators requiring coordinated integration. Such things may act under human control, and at times under full or partial autonomy establishing the need for robust, persistent, reliable, and secure M and O. Towards that end, a proposed framework is herein presented based on a notional M and O infrastructure concept.
