Multi-agent model of information warfare system

Information warfare system (IWS) is a complex, dynamic, and information centric system with heterogeneous, autonomous members. To simulate its action, multi-agent-based modeling technology is applied to set up the mappings from the members in IWS to respective agents, by which the distributed multi-agent system is designed. Based on the analysis on the problem space, battlespace and information processing of IWS, multi-agent organization of IWS and its essential cells, agents' architectures are studied. The inter-agent problems of task decomposition and task allocation are furthermore discussed. The established distributed multi-agent system model of IWS can afford advantage for carrying out the advanced concept technology demonstration of the external, dynamic, complicated and intelligent process.
