| The report describes the I-X framework and its application to personnel recovery. When the I-X framework is instantiated with a domain-specific model, it is referred to as an I-X application. Such an application has been developed during the Co-OPR project for the task of personnel recovery and personnel recovery training. The I-X technology was applied to develop a tool that can be used to support collaborative personnel recovery as observed ... |

 | Software agents can be viewed as semi-autonomous entities which help people cope with the complexities of working collaboratively in a distributed information environment. This paper describes the research that DERA is carrying out into Software Agents for use in Command Systems and the collaborative work with the 16 partners of an international Coalition Agents Experiment. Specifically, the paper aims to show that using software agent-based C2 frameworks is a useful ... |
