ABSTRACT

RAM Laboratories is developing a distributed agent-based toolbox known as the Course of Action Analysis with Radio Effects Toolbox (CARET). The object of this toolbox is to use agent driven simulation and cognitive modeling to provide analyses and diagnoses of network behavior within the mission context to Signal Operations Planners. This paper reviews the current development of the second phase of the CARET prototype.
