artificial intelligence, high level information fusion, human-computer interaction, and multi-agent systems

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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Matchmaker - A middle agent that facilitates conections among agents that provide services and agents that request services.
• Pleiades - A project aimed at developing methods for automating negotiation among agents and implementing effective machine learning techniques.
• 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
• WARREN - The WARREN system is a multi-agent application that is designed to help users monitor and manage their financial portfolio.
