Current CIMDS Projects [Past Projects]

• A-Match - A-Match, the interface to the RETSINA Matchmaker, provides a web interface for users to advertise their agents, customize agents, find other agents, and query them.
• AFOSR PRET: Information Fusion for Command and Control: The Translation of Raw Data To Actionable Knowledge and Decision - We are conducting a multidisciplinary research effort to develop the next generation of information fusion systems.
• AMC Barrelmaster Scheduling - Integrated management of airlift and tanker missions at the USAF Air Mobility Command.
• Adaptive Web-Based Information Gathering and Filtering
• Agent Storm - Agent Storm is a scenario where agents autonomously coordinate their team-oriented roles and actions while executing a mission.
• Agent Transaction Language for Advertising Services - A DAML-based language for advertising and locating agents, ontologies, and other Web entities.
• Agent-based Composition of Behavioral Models - This project focuses on accurately modeling human physical behaviors; these models are used 1) to create computer generated forces (CGFs) that exhibit human-like behavior and 2) to recognize physical behaviors performed by trainees in a MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) team training simulation.
• Aircraft Maintenance - A wearable software system that uses RETSINA agents to assist in the process of documenting and making repairs to aircraft.
• Bazaar - we are developing an adaptive, multi-issue negotiation model capable of exhibiting a rich set of negotiation behaviors for electronic commerce
• Bend Sequence Planner - Finds the best sequence of bending operations and repositionings of the part in the robot gripper to make a bent sheet metal part.
• BendCad Modeler - Sheet metal design system for the Intelligent Bending Workstation
• COALA - We are developing a model of inter-organizational electronic commerce.
• Cooperative Attack Munition Real Time Assessment - We are developing the algorithms required to achieve cohesive, flexible and robust coordination of large teams of autonomous Wide Area Search Munitions (WASMs) that can be controlled by a small number of human operators.
• Coordinators - The DARPA COORDINATORS program defines a challenging multi-agent application, with agents operating in a highly dynamic environment, where no agent has a complete view of the problem.
• Daml-S - We are developing DAML as part of the Semantic Web initiative.
• Daml-S (Semantic) Matchmaker - We have developed our Semantic Matchmaker, an entity that will allow web services to locate other services, using DAML-S, a DAML-based language for describing service capabilities.
• Discovery - We are developing an autoconfiguration mechanism for agents and infrastructures.
• Electronic Commerce
• Fine Motion Planner - The fine-motion planner computes a sequence of robot moves to safely unload the workpiece from the bending machine.
• Grasping Planner - Sheet metal grasp planning for the Intelligent Bending Workstation.
• IBM ITA: Human-Agent Teamwork Models - We are developing models of human-agent teamwork for implementation in software agent systems.
• Integrating Intelligent Assistants into Human Teams (Joccasta) - A multi-disciplinary research project designed to increase the effectiveness of team decision making in joint planning tasks.
• Language for Advertisement and Request for Knowledge Sharing - A common agent capability description language (ACDL) for matching service-requesting software agents with service-providing software agents.
• MIGSOCK - We are developing MIGSOCK, a Linux kernel module that re-implements TCP to make socket migration possible.
• MINTEC - Supply chain management
• MORSE - The MORSE project is a simulated range operation, designed to evaluate effectiveness of the cognitive models and agents, in order to improve individual and team performance.
• Matchmaker - A middle agent that facilitates conections among agents that provide services and agents that request services.
• Mobile Communications amongst Heterogeneous Agents - We are developing a multi-agent system for "Anyware" communications and display.
• MokSAF - A software environment for route planning and team coordination.
• Motion Planner
• Pleiades - A project aimed at developing methods for automating negotiation among agents and implementing effective machine learning techniques.
• Product Decomposition - a method of decomposing sheet-metal products into a few, easily manufactured parts
• Profile-Based Scheduling Procedures - We are investigating approaches to constraint-posting scheduling.
• RETSINA Semantic Web Calendar Agent - We are Retsina Semantic Web Calendar Agent to assist in organizing and scheduling meetings between several individuals, and coordinating these meetings based on existing schedules maintained by MS Outlook.
• Reflective Agents with Distributed Adaptive Reasoning - The focus of the RADAR project is to build a cognitive assistant that embodies machine learning technology that is able to function without requiring expert tuning or specially trained users.
• Reusable Environment for Task Structured Intelligent Network Agents - An architecture for developing distributed intelligent software agents that cooperate asynchronously to perform goal-directed information retrieval and information integration in support of a varie
• Stacking Planner - Generates plans for polyhedral sheet metal parts.
• Thales - Satellite visibility forecaster
• Tooling Planner - Supports various decision making steps related to bending tools and press-brake setups.
• Urban Search and Rescue - We are developing Hybrid Teams of Autonomous Agents: Cyber Agents, Robots and People (CARPs) to address the challenges of urban search and rescue.
