A Theory of Hierarchical, Distributed Systems

Abstract

The research advanced in three domains: (1) development of an architecture for autonomous, intelligent vehicles; (2) software environment for detailed specification of the control structure and simulation; and (3) detailed system design for several missions. The tangible products of the research at the end of the 15 months are: Architectures and detailed design and simulation of complex missions in SHIFT; A more general function architecture, conceptual building Blocks and initial specification of corresponding SHIFT classes; A SHIFT port to the NT and Windows platform.
