  1. CAINSCenter for Autonomous IntelligentNetwork Systemswww.cains.cs.ucla.edu Town Hall Meeting HSSEAS Friday June 8

  2. Center for Autonomous IntelligentNetwork Systems • Founded in 2001 - Initial sponsors: ONR and NSF • Mission Statement: • Forum for Intelligent Autonomous Systems research • Interdisciplinary collaboration: technology, tools, and test beds • Joint research sponsored by Government and Industry • Director: Mario Gerla • Scientific Board: Rajive Bagrodia, Babak Daneshrad, Leonard Kleinrock, Izhak Rubin, Mani Srivastava, John Villasenor, Clifford Anderson (ONR)

  3. Why a Center for Autonomous Intelligent Systems Research? • There is growing interest in the collective behavior of “swarms” of intelligent agents: • Unattended Airborne Vehicles (Internet in the sky) • Vehicles in the urban grid • Underwater floating sensors • The challenge: scalable, fault tolerant, environment-aware systems for complex missions • Applications: communications, defense, security, search and rescue, industrial control, environmental monitoring, planetary exploration.

  6. Vehicles as Urban Sensors

  7. Research and Technology Objectives • Collaborations among scientists in different Departments and Schools on autonomous agent projects, exploiting complementary skills and sharing specialized resources • Research partnerships with existing Centers and with other universities and with industry and government research labs.

  8. Partnerships • BOEING Phantom Works • Northrop Grumman • Raytheon • Boella Research Lab, Torino, Italy • University of Bologna, Italy • Selex (Finmeccanica), Italy

  9. CAINS Activities • Current Projects : • Emergency networking using swarms (NSF) • DAWN project (MURY, ARMY) • International Technical Alliance (IBM, ARMY) • DAMASCO (Italian Reasearch Council, Boella) • Urban Networks (MICRO, STM) • On going collaborations: • Biology inspired systems (Prof Renato Lio’, Cambridge Univ, UK; Prof Bellavista, Univ of Bologna) • Tactical Systems: Boeing Phantoms Works • CAMPUS Vehicular Testbed (Politecnico Torino, Istituto Boella, University of Bologna)
