Abstract :
Significant work has been done in enhancing concurrency and overall efficiency of planning systems for unmanned sensors deployments. Concurrency is important for a variety of reasons including creating scalable and ´pluggable´ systems. In this paper, we document work done with the Task Expansion Engine (TEE) and software agents based on the COUGAAR architecture and results achieved using this foundation and discuss current and potential applications possible with this framework
