Abstract
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is exploring key factors that affect how teams,
particularly distributed teams, develop shared situational awareness (SSA) in a Complex
Humanitarian Emergency (CHE) environment. This research develops the foundation for
deploying the following: Network-Centric Human-Agents in CHE habitats, an integrated
environment of mobile operators, deployable wireless networks, sensors, collaborative
tools, and multiagent systems. We experimentally explored how to integrate a deployable
wireless network with peer-to-peer (P2P) collaborative tools and situational awareness
agents. This was done to establish shared awareness of the events that were taking place
during the CHE operation. The major findings include the following: a better
understanding of the critical role of peer-to-peer communication, network performance
monitoring, and innovative agent-based architecture for maintaining seamless access to
the remote data bases and expert sources.
