GliderAgent-a proposal for an agent-based glider pilot support system

This paper introduces the GliderAgent-a multiagent system supporting glider pilot in various navigation and pilotage scenarios. After presenting the rationale behind the agent-based approach, basic tenets of the proposed system are briefly discussed and semi-formalized in the form of a UML Use Case diagram. Two key functionalities of the GliderAgent-resource management and communication are also discussed.
