Abstract :
The Search and Rescue Assistant (SARA) is a multi-agent system that provides task assistance in a real-world situation-dependent military command and control environment. Organized around the metaphor of a society, agents with expertise in various elements of the domain collaborate to provide concise, context-sensitive situation awareness in support of the human user. The report introduces the underlying architecture of SARA, describes the current implementation, and summarizes the conclusions drawn from that experience
