Current Labs & Groups

Intelligent Software Agents - Here, researchers explore multi-agent planning and scheduling, multi-agent learning, multi-agent negotiation, and decision support for human teams
 

Current Projects [Past projects]

Adaptive Interoperability of Multiple Heterogeneous Agents - To enable requester agents to find provider agents in environments with heterogeneous and dynamic information services, we have developed middle agents which serve to increase agent interoperability.
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.
Agent Storm - Agent Storm is a scenario where agents autonomously coordinate their team-oriented roles and actions while executing a mission.
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.
IBM ITA: Human-Agent Teamwork Models - We are developing models of human-agent teamwork for implementation in software agent systems.
Matchmaker - A middle agent that facilitates conections among agents that provide services and agents that request services.
MIGSOCK - We are developing MIGSOCK, a Linux kernel module that re-implements TCP to make socket migration possible.
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.
Pleiades - A project aimed at developing methods for automating negotiation among agents and implementing effective machine learning techniques.
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.
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
Text Miner - We are developing Text Miner, a system that automatically classifies news reports on a company's financial outlook.
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.
WARREN - The WARREN system is a multi-agent application that is designed to help users monitor and manage their financial portfolio.
WebMate - A personal agent for World-Wide Web browsing that enhances searches and learns user interests.
