Data Provisioning Systems for Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

This project is part of a portfolio comprising four other projects to investigate the possibility of operating a collection of intelligent autonomous agents so that the collection can undertakes complex missions. To determine this, we are testing a new routing algorithm in which nodes are known by their geographical address. In additional, we have developed a MAC layer protocol for forming a ring network among nearby agents. Finally we are formulating a mathematical problem that captures the essence of data provisioning based on the work of John Chuang and recent developments in the Internet known as layer 5 switching and content distribution networks.
