Friday June 8
Center for Autonomous IntelligentNetwork Systems
• Founded in 2001 - Initial sponsors: ONR and NSF
• Mission Statement:
– Forum for Intelligent Autonomous Systems research – Interdisciplinary collaboration: technology, tools, and
test beds– Joint research sponsored by Government and Industry
• Director: Mario Gerla
• Scientific Board: Rajive Bagrodia, Babak Daneshrad, Leonard Kleinrock, Izhak Rubin, Mani Srivastava,
John Villasenor, Clifford Anderson (ONR)
Why a Center for Autonomous Intelligent Systems Research?
• There is growing interest in the collective behavior of “swarms” of intelligent agents:
– Unattended Airborne Vehicles (Internet in the sky)– Vehicles in the urban grid– Underwater floating sensors
• The challenge: scalable, fault tolerant, environment-aware systems for complex missions
• Applications: communications, defense, security, search and rescue, industrial control, environmental monitoring, planetary exploration.
