CoAX CHAIN OverviewCHAIN Overview
CHAIN provides building blocks for end users to rapidly construct and deploy intelligent information gathering agents, monitor critical events across the globe, and intelligently notify users of critical events.
Enables user to launch large number of agents to monitor critical events, data bases, information repositories, web pages, sensors, and devices
Agents can access any JCDB compliant database – GUI is provided for users to rapidly create retrieval agents.
Agents perform data analysis based on rules, changing events, and operator direction.
Isolates users and agents from databases and information sources. Hierarchical task-based planning system guides processing. Built to be easily integrated with planning and decision support systems. Based on Jini and CoABS GRID – interoperable with other DARPA agent
systems and ESG sensors. Utilizes JavaSpaces for Agent Coordination.
