Agent-Based Systems Engineering

Abstract : This project combines robust and proven concepts from traditional mathematical systems engineering with the technology of web-based agent systems, leading to new modeling paradigms and technical results for agent-based computing. The main goal of this project is to develop a scientific approach to agent-based computing using concepts and paradigms from classical systems and computer engineering. The techniques are applied to multi-agent system coordination and adaptation problems that arise in UAV swarm surveillance and scheduling applications.
