12. Autonomous Agents and Multi -agent Systems (AAMAS) for the Military - Issues and Challenges.

Author

Ghanea-Hercock, Robert, Beautement, Patrick, Allsopp, David, Greaves, Mark, Goldsmith, Steve, Spires, Shannon, Thompson, Simon G., and Janicke, Helge

Abstract

The military domain is a very challenging environment and human endeavour in this domain is characterized by uncertainty and the need to be able to deal with significant and disruptive dynamic changes. In addition, activities are driven by human decision-makers who need support in making sense of the environment and with reasoning about, and effecting, possible futures. Hence, various unique factors need to be taken into account when considering the provision of applications, tools, devices and infrastructure for the military domain. This paper will itemize and discuss some of these factors in the context of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. This paper is a desiderata for the research space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

14. Making complexity work in practice.

Author

Rouse, W.B., Boff, K.R., Sanderson, P., and Beautement, Patrick

Subjects
COMPLEXITY (Philosophy), DECISION making, EMPLOYEE rules, CAUSATION (Philosophy), SOCIAL context, THOUGHT & thinking, SOCIAL change
Abstract

This chapter addresses causality in practice, not just in theory and starts by explaining the characteristics of practice. It then examines how, in social contexts, the complex networks of vested interests, power groupings, dynamic influences and community and cultural tensions can be identified and managed leading to there being perceptions of successful outcomes. Key to this is recognising how 'success' would be seen from the various perspectives and viewpoints and understanding, practically, the opportunities and limitations for intercepting and engaging with these complex motivations - even though, on paper, some appear to be contradictory or even incompatible. The chapter will describe a 'Landscape', inspired by complexity science, which is used to contrast two urban situations and to show how some of the outcomes and their consequences can be explained in causal terms. It concludes by suggesting developments needed to provide practitioners with a systematic approach to putting `complexity thinking' to work in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
