Abstract

The military domain is a very challenging environment and human endeavour in this domain is characterized by uncertainty and the need to be able to deal with significant and disruptive dynamic changes. In addition, activities are driven by human decision-makers who need support in making sense of the environment and with reasoning about, and effecting, possible futures. Hence, various unique factors need to be taken into account when considering the provision of applications, tools, devices and infrastructure for the military domain. This paper will itemize and discuss some of these factors in the context of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. This paper is a desiderata for the research space.
