Cooperative Autonomous Agents Testbed.

Abstract

Efforts during the first year of the contract were concentrated on developing a mathematical formalism for re-supply planning. The formalism not only allows efficient plans to be constructed, but also allows those plans to be internalized plans (i.e. flexible plans). Internalized plans allow re-supply agents to be opportunistic in a changing environment. The formalism is based on expressing the re-supply problem as a flow of commodities on a graph. An economic analogy allows the re-supply agents to act as if they were self-serving agents while still accomplishing the global goals.
