Abstract

We present an approach to modelling the collaborative mission planning process, called Agent Assisted Mission Planning (AAMP), for use in distributed multiagent decision support systems. The AAMP approach is based on the use of adaptive agent teamwork structures to understand user activities and requirements. Military personnel engaged in mission planning manipulate interface and simulation agents that consequently recognise user goals to provide customised assistance and services to users. Dynamic teamwork structures are created at runtime that represent the beliefs, desires and intentions of mission planners, and through manipulation of agent profiles structural configurations of teamwork are updated. AAMP then uses matching strategies to compare evolving and existing team structures to recognise user intentions relevant to current tasks. The matching results are interpreted and used to affect agent behaviour to provide enhanced assistance.
