Distributed Real-Time Situation Assessment Using the DRESUN System.

Abstract

The goal of this research has been the development of a generic architecture for large scale distributed real time situation assessment systems (DSA). The major areas of effort in this research have been in: creating a highly flexible testbed, with agents that can support a very wide range of interaction protocols; extending the capabilities of the agents to model the beliefs of other agents, to facilitate communication and use of incomplete information and information at multiple levels of abstraction; developing appropriate coordination algorithms I protocols; integrating real-time deadlines into the control framework. We have also been pursuing several different techniques for formally characterizing/analyzing important aspects of DSA systems and applications, and developing techniques for on-line learning of coordination strategies.
