This report documents work done with DARPA funding, under contract F33615-01-C-3151 for the period of performance of September 2001 through December 2003. The main goal of the SHARED project is to develop a methodology for hierarchical control, including theory, algorithms, and experimentations. The goal also is to demonstrate the methodology in a prototype tool for optimal planning of shared responsibilities and roles in the hierarchical deployment and operation of teams of distributed cooperative automaton entities and human operators in future combat systems, in adversarial and uncertain situations. The underlying theme of the SHARED project is the use a hierarchical game theoretic framework, where entities at different levels use leader-follower games, peer entities at the same level use principles of cooperative games, robustness and estimation theory are blended, and total system design is human-centered.
