Dynamic Control and Formal Models of Multi-Agent Interactions and Behaviors

摘要

New Multi-Agent System (MAS) approaches to complex DoD problems hold the promise of previously unrealized levels of autonomy, adaptability, and flexibility of agent-controlled systems. These systems will provide essential capabilities in command and control, surveillance, automated targeting and weapons delivery, and biochem monitoring. BAE SYSTEMS Advanced Information Technologies' work focused on three areas. First was the development of the Open Experimentation Framework to facilitate research, evaluation, and characterization of the emerging science of Multi-Agent Systems. Second was the design and facilitation of a project-wide demonstration in which all Principal Investigators participate. Third was our theoretical research into cooperative and adaptive methods for multi-agent systems to service asynchronously appearing pop up tasks.
