Extensible Collaborative Systems for Mission Planning

Abstract

The goal of this work was to develop an Extensible Agent for Collaborative Tasks (EXACT). EXACT was to embody a novel computational theory of collaboration that drives the interactions between humans and machines, as they work collaboratively to construct and manage mission plans. EXACT was to enable a multimodal, dialogue-based interaction that is more intuitive and effective for both novice and expert users alike. EXACT would make mission planning systems act more like good human assistants than passive pieces of software. Given that the OBTW program was cancelled at the end of its first year, these goals were not met. We did, however, build a significant infrastructure for future research in this area and performed a pilot experiment to explore possible evaluation measures.
