Coordination Decision Support Assistants (COORDINATORs)

Program Manager: Dr. Robert Kohout

Mission:

Automated Decision Support for Military Field Units: The Coordinators program is creating distributed intelligent software systems that will help fielded units adapt their mission plans as the situation around them changes and impacts their plans. Intelligent software Coordinators do this by reasoning about the tasks assigned to a given unit, the task timings, how the tasks interact with those of other units, and by evaluating possible changes such as changing task timings, task assignments, or selecting from pre-planned contingencies.
