Command and control in virtual environments: tailoring software agents to emulate specific people
Abstract
Development and experimentation with ELICIT (Experimental Laboratory for Investigating Collaboration, Information-sharing and Trust) is an ongoing activity of the U.S. DoD Command and Control Research Program (CCRP) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (OASD/NII). A recent CCRP-sponsored effort resulted in the development of a configurable sensemaking agent to enable agent-based ELICIT simulation experiments. A key step in the adoption of these configurable agents for use in research is demonstrating that these agents can be configured to behave as specific humans behave. This paper discusses how the behavior of humans in an actual ELICIT experiment is successfully modeled using sensemaking agents and provides suggestions for how the validated agents could be used in future ELICIT experiments.

Human robotic swarm interaction using an artificial physics approach
Campbell, Brenton (Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-12);This thesis explores the use of an artificial physics framework to provide centralized control of a collection of agents in close proximity to a human operator. Based on the spatial separation between agents, agents to ... -
On Connectivity Preservation in Mobile Wireless Multi-Agent/Node Mesh Networks
Edwards, Christopher; Menon, Prathyush P.; Shtessel, Yuri; Bordetsky, Alexander (2013-06);The paper considers the development of a mission planning system for a so-called ‘non-cooperative’ multi-agent network. The network comprises two classes of agent: primary mission agents and relay agents. The primary ...
