Past Labs & Groups

Case Based Reasoning Lab - Case based reasoning and related AI areas

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

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.	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.	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.	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.
MokSAF - A software environment for route planning and team coordination.	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
