Intelligent Agents for the Digital Battlefield
Abstract
In this report we describe some of the theoretical and practical underpinnings of a joint University of Maryland/Army Research Laboratory Project to develop a scalable architecture for supporting intelligent agent applications. The main focus of our long term research is threefold: (1) to develop the theoretical foundations of intelligent agent systems, (2) to concurrently build prototype implementations of such agent based systems, and (3) to concurrently develop applications in the area of situation awareness and assessment using the proposed agent architecture and implementation. A specific outcome of our long term research will be the development of a collaborative agent technology system, CATS, that will provide the underlying software infrastructure needed to build large, heterogeneous, distributed agent applications. CATS will provide a software environment through which multiple intelligent agents may interact with other agents, both human and computational. In addition, CATS will contain a number of intelligent agent components that will be useful for a wide variety of applications.
