Research abstract
Not Available CoABS, a major research and development effort of the DDARPAControl of Agent Based Systems program (CoABS) supports enabling technologies for the integration of architectures and distributed systems of agents, objects, and legacy systems. CoABS is designed to eliminate traditionally stove piped systems. It is a self-assembling collection of dynamic heterogeneous, distributed components for the current application at hand. In the Internet, object and agent usage and trends must be mined and analyzed in order to satisfy customer requirements under normal and surge conditions. Web sites track the numbers of hits per time interval, and during peak times, sites are replicated in order to satisfy user demand. Analogously, we propose to develop a Multi Agent Performance Monitoring System (MAPMS) prototype to be inserted as a Grid Ready Component (GRC) into CoABS that shall demonstrate a GENERIC method of predicting surges before they occur, and RECTIFY such surges once they have been predicted, thus avoiding lockouts. We outline two scenarios related to logistics and terrorism that leverages our efforts with Rome Laboratories and Wright-Patterson AFB. We shall design a Phase I prototype with current and proposed CoABS technologies based on one of these scenarios.
