ARGUS II DARP - Industrial applications of Agent-Based Information Fusion
Managing Uncertainty and Risk

Thursday 28 February 2008


ARGUS II is developing agent-based information fusion solutions which operate in domains of distributed and uncertain information.
During the Conference:

QinetiQ will demonstrate advanced data fusion in Wide-Area-Surveillance applications for the protection of critical UK infrastructures.  Agents ensure that sensors are focused on high-priority objects and object locations, improving the quality of the picture for the human operator.

Rolls-Royce will demonstrate its Shop Visit Planner, an agent-based planning and scheduling system for aeroengine repair and overhaul.  The agents, representing fleet managers and other stakeholders, adaptively negotiate to schedule engine shop visits.

BAE Systems will demonstrate Decentralised Air Traffic Control, a revolutionary approach in which airlines are empowered to plan and negotiate their own routes through the airspace.  The system is motivated by projections of congested skies, as well as recent technology developments.

ARGUS II is a Defence and Aerospace Research Partnership (DARP) sponsored by MoD, EPSRC and DIUS and QinetiQ, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems.
