Description

Coordination is a tool to allow cooperation. Teamwork is a cooperative effort by a group of mobile sensors to achieve a common goal. It is fundamental for a smart defence to understand how the coordination of individual contributions leads to effectiveness and efficiency of the team.
The objective of SET-199 is the development of methods for establishing the conditions in a partially observable environment under which specific coordination schemes are beneficial.
By considering various approaches to this task in an interdisciplinary manner, a sustainable insight on how to automatically evaluate coordination schemes has been generated. As one possible exploitation of this insight, a formal methodology is introduced that builds upon the automatic inclusion of efficient evaluation in the connectivity between the system and its goal. By applying the methodology, a comprehensive understanding of a given problem (the template problem description can be formulated as to find and to guarantee the connection between the system and its goal) can be generated. The application of the methodology to a set of problems is enabling an ontological relationship between “class of problem” and “beneficial coordination” associated.
