Abstract :
The authors developed a testbed for cooperative distributed problem solving, Testbed Environment for Autonomous Multiagent Cooperative Problem Solving (TEAM-CPS), and successfully applied it to public telephony networks. This paper discusses an extension of this work to military strategic defense systems (SDS). A conceptual SDS model is described. It includes distributed network managers that must cooperatively allocate bandwidth to computer applications in support of critical pre-engagement missile defense functions
