Abstract :
Summary form only given. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has initiated an aggressive program to develop, integrate, and implement autonomous systems technologies starting with knowledge-based (expert) systems and evolving towards `autonomous´, intelligent systems. Research thrusts to achieve these capabilities are centered around machine learning; coordinated real-time decision-making by multiple, cooperating intelligent agents; management, maintenance, and real-time control of distributed databases; software verification and validation; and fault-tolerant, multiprocessor architectures capable of operating in a heterogeneous environment. A summary of the research plans and the progress made in each of these areas is discussed
