“…Software agents and services: Rather than accessing a static, predetermined structure of databases and servers, flexible tools should be able to dynamically access information providers as required by current operations [21,23,24]. With appropriate support, Decision Desktop can dynamically discover services and agents on a network in order to access diverse and unexpected information sources and functionality.…”

The future digital battlespace will be a fast-paced and frenetic environment that stresses information communication technology systems to the limit. The challenges are most acute in the tactical and operational domains where bandwidth is severely limited, security of information is paramount, the network is under physical and cyber attack and administrative support is minimal. Hyperion is a cluster of research projects designed to provide an automated and adaptive information management capability embedded in defence networks. The overall system architecture is designed to improve the situational awareness of field commanders by providing the ability to fuse and compose information services in real time. The key technologies adopted to enable this include: autonomous software agents, self-organizing middleware, a smart data filtering system and a 3-D battlespace simulation environment. This paper reviews some of the specific techniques under development within the Hyperion sub-projects and the results achieved to date.

This paper analyses aspects associated with the development of joint human-agent planning agents, showing that they can be implemented, in a unified way, via a constraint-based ontology and related functions. The constraints' properties have already been used by several planning approaches as an option to improve their efficiency and expressiveness. This work demonstrates that such properties can also be employed to implement collaborative concepts, which are maintained transparent to the planning mechanisms. Furthermore, the use of constraints provides several facilities to the implementation of advanced mechanisms associated with the human interaction, as also demonstrated here.

“…The management of multi-agent systems represents one of the most promising fields for the exploitation of policy-based approaches [2,6,16]. By their ability to operate independently without constant human supervision, agents can perform tasks that would be impractical or impossible using traditional software applications.…”

Abstract. Policies are being increasingly used for automated system management and controlling the behavior of complex systems. The use of policies allows administrators to modify system behavior without changing source code or requiring the consent or cooperation of the components being governed. Early approaches to policy representation have been restrictive in many ways. However semantically-rich policy representations can reduce human error, simplify policy analysis, reduce policy conflicts, and facilitate interoperability. In this paper, we compare three approaches to policy representation, reasoning, and enforcement. We highlight similarities and differences between Ponder, KAoS, and Rei, and sketch out some general criteria and properties for more adequate approaches to policy semantics in the future.
