Using federated adaptable multi-agent systems in achieving cyber attack tolerant missions

The overall goal of the processes of cyber attack impact assessment that was discussed in our earlier works was strictly to increase the cyber security situation awareness. In this paper we will move further, from the cyber security situation assessment task to the task of achieving of missions that are tolerant to the cyber attacks committed against the information assets that support the mission operations. We will introduce a notion of cyber attack tolerant missions and propose a framework of building cyber attack tolerant missions based on federated adaptable and situation aware multi-agent systems.
