Abstract :
In this paper, a goal-driven net-enabled distributed data fusion system is described for CanCoastWatch (CCW) project. Multiple sensors are deployed and managed to achieve the goals of situation assessment using a net-enabled architecture. The local tracks reported by multiple sensors are first integrated into global tracks. Decision making is then performed on basic sub-goals that can be directly derived from the fused global tracks. Finally, a goal-driven rule-based expert system uses the basic sub-goal decisions for goal reasoning.
