reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA451547 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Multi-Agent Distributed Goal Satisfaction MADGS project facilitates distributed mission planning and execution in complex dynamic environments with a focus on distributed goal planning and satisfaction. By understanding the fundamental technical challenges faced by our commanders on and off the battlefield, we can help ease the burden of decision-making. MADGS lays the foundations for retrieving, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating information to our commanders. In this paper, we present an overview of the MADGS system and discuss its key components that has formed our initial prototype and testbed.
