Mobile agents on the digital battlefield
Martin O. Hofmann, Amy McGovern, Kenneth R. Whitebread · 1998
The Domain Adaptive Information System (DAIS) is a mobile intebigent agent system for information discovery and dissemination in a military intelligence network DAIS is used reliably over low bandwidth miIitary radio networks to facihtate Counter InteIligcnce/Human Intelligence (CWHUMINT) operations.DAIS tested and validated two hypotheses: that agent technology could improve the efficiency of military tactical operations; and that mobile agents would outperform static agents in the unrcliablc, low bandwidth networks used in military operations.DAIS increased by two orders of magnitude military intelligence analysts' access to distributed information.This paper presents the design of the system, the cxpcrimcnts, and the results, as well as the future directions of DAIS.1.1
