DMAS Implementation CPE Society
  • Military logistics
  • Command and Control Structure
  • Distributed, continuous planning and execution
  • Stressful Environment Stresses range from heavy
    computational loads to infrastructure loss
  • Objective Identify and demonstrate key concepts
    in the argument for and concept of design for
    survivability

13
Specification and Performance Estimation
  • Methodology XML based distributed specification
    (TechSpecs), Queueing theory based performance
    modeling.
  • Description
  • TechSpecs described agent attributes,
    measurement points and control parameters.
  • BCMP network and Whitt QNA employed to estimate
    the end-to-end app-layer response times and
    remove infeasible operating modes.

14
Control of the DMAS
  • Methodology Application-Layer control using
    queueing theory, and other learned models.
  • Description Trading off QOS (plan quality) for
    performance (response time) using estimates
    gained from Queueing network models. Regression
    models used to assess the impact of model
    prediction on application utility.

15
Designing a Network Infrastructure
  • Methodology Optimization using GA.
  • Description Represent the entire network of
    agents as a math programming model with
    constraints on resources with an objective to
    minimize the total set-up costs.

Hierarchical Agent Society Satisfying Constraints
with Minimum Total Infrastructure Set-up Cost
16
Mathematical Formulation
17
Load Control Problem for Agent Systems
  • Optimal resource control to optimize long run
    performance.
  • Piecewise deterministic Markov process for
    dynamic environment (workload and CPU
    availability)

18
Survivability Topological perspective
  • Objective Survivability of large-scale network
  • Methodology Complex networks theory

19
Cyber Design Network (CD-NET)
  • Challenges
  • Securityagainst cyber attacks, hackers
  • Robustnessagainst damage (infrastructure and
    application)
  • Scalability to growth and load of the network

20
Distributed Large Scale Networks Research-
Lessons Learnt and their usefulness to CD-NET
  • Distributed Agents Agent definitions,
    communication and platform are critical
  • Agent Composition to solve a problem is feasible
    through TechSpecs (meta-data) and dynamic
    service discovery
  • Ontologies are the foundation for TechSpecs
  • Infrastructure Survivability Optimization
    approaches
  • Application Survivability Through CAS analysis
