HIGH THROUGHPUT SELECTION OF FABS TO THE HUMAN PROTEOME

Not Available There is an increasing desire in many organizations, including the Department of Defense, NASA, and commercial satellite operators, to use constellations or fleets of autonomous spacecraft working together to accomplish complex mission objectives. Multiple satellite systems are envisioned because they are capable of higher performance, lower cost, better fault tolerance, reconfigurability and upgradability. This proposal describes the AgentOrg(sup TM) system that will enable agent-based multi-satellite systems to fulfill complex mission objectives by autonomously making high-and low-level decisions based on the information available to any and/or all agents in the satellite system. This is achieved through the use of hierarchical communication and decision-making paths among the agents that can be autonomously reconfigured as new agents are added and old agents are modified or removed. A graphical user interface (GUI) enables the satellite end users to initially configure the AgentOrg system and monitor the effectiveness of the decisions made by the agents.
