Given the vast amount of banking transactions, electronic commerce, and medical information systems, security requirements for these systems far exceed traditional security requirements for networks. |
| System Level Design of Embedded Systems(Status: Completed -- Project Award Date: 08-15-2002) |
| This research program will develop and demonstrate capabilities that analyze the complex interactions between heterogeneous, embedded system component domains. The research plan involves three major objectives. |

| A Case Reflective Negotiation Model(Status: Completed -- Project Award Date: 06-16-1999) |
| Teams of agents representing independent, and often competitive, resource constraints must negotiate with one another to ensure that good enough solutions are provided soon enough to be useful. Negotiations concerning a single resource allocation are challenging enough, but a real solution to the real problem must consider how to conduct negotiations and allocate multiple resources to multiple consumers under a wide range of constraints. |

| KEURP Net and Link(Status: Completed -- Project Award Date: 05-23-1997) |
| The goals for Phase I and II have been completed, and a useful reliable World Wide Web site for KEURP is operational. However, there is no mechanism by which KEURP can maintain their site independently. As new information is generated (e.g., yearly research objectives) and as old information needs updating (e.g., the members of various committees), KEURP cannot currently add or update their own Web pages. The goal for Phase III, therefore, is to provide easy-to-use facilities whereby KEURP staff members can remotely add, remove, and update information. |
| Accessing Sources with Diverse Ontologies (Status: Completed) |
| We are developing a system where each agent creates and learns conceptualizations, or ontologies, which are useful for its individual purposes, but it also shares its knowledge to improve group problem solving performance. Our work shows that multiagent learning of ontologies among individual agents with diverse conceptualizations is feasible and these learned ontologies can be used by the agents to improve group search performance for related semantic concepts through experience in the problem domain. |
| Autonomous Negotiating Teams (ANTs) (Status: Completed) |

| This project addresses two fundamental problems in biomedical image analysis: object motion quantification, and shape change characterization. |
| ProFilter (Status: Completed) |
| This technology, called "information filtering," is most approporate for areas of long-term interest, where the user is not attempting to answer a fleeting query but rather wished to keep abreat of a particular area on a continuing basis. The goal of this project is to enhance the information filtering component of ProFusion to produce a new system, called ProFilter. Current information filtering products (Pointcast, MyYahoo) allow users to automatically receive updates selected from a particular collection of vendor-defined information streams. ProFusion, on the other hand, allows users to receive updates on their own queries and thus create their own information streams. |
