This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Communication of information, not just its mere existence, is the key to the current information age. Network infrastructure must be agile in resource allocation and adapt to changing circumstances. To provide consistent levels of service, the nods must handle changes in network traffic, available network resources and external factors. Mobile networks further complicate algorithm design through position changes. Mobile networks, moving into a new environment, intelligently position themselves to provide an efficient communications backbone. This placement can't be static but must constantly evolve while sharing information. We propose using primates as the biological basis for an adaptable, flexible cooperative system . Primates live in stable, sometimes life-long communities but form structured ad hoc sub-groups. Hunting and foraging tasks accomplished as groups provide better coverage increasing success. In addition , groups provide safety via formation , optimal distancing and communication via vocalization and observation. The activities under this proposal include: 1 ) Study group formation and task assignment during hunting and foraging tasks 2) Build models of adaptation to internal and external factors 3) Incorporate models into mobile networks via simulation and experimentation 4) Validate model usefulness through implementation of intelligent network surveillance application. We expect that this activity will yield the following benefits: 1) Models for primate cooperation during hunting and foraging 2) New models for communication that adapt to changing environments and changes in resources. 3) Novel self-organization algorithms that impose task appropriate structure on coverage activities such as reconnaissance and surveillance.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 信息的传播，而不仅仅是信息的存在，是当今信息时代的关键。网络基础设施必须灵活地分配资源并适应不断变化的环境。为了提供一致的服务级别，网关必须处理网络流量、可用网络资源和外部因素的变化。移动的网络通过位置改变进一步使算法设计复杂化。移动的网络正在进入一个新的环境，智能地定位自己以提供高效的通信骨干。这种位置不能是静态的，而是必须在共享信息的同时不断发展。我们建议使用灵长类动物作为适应性强，灵活的合作系统的生物基础。灵长类动物生活在稳定的、有时是终生的社区中，但会形成结构化的临时子群体。狩猎和觅食任务完成后，群体提供更好的覆盖面，增加成功。此外，群体通过编队、最佳距离以及通过发声和观察进行交流来提供安全。 根据这一提议开展的活动包括： 1）狩猎和觅食任务中的研究小组形成和任务分配 2)建立适应内部和外部因素的模型 3)通过仿真和实验将模型集成到移动的网络中 4)通过智能网络监控应用的实施，验证模型的实用性。 我们预计这项活动将产生以下效益： 1)灵长类动物在狩猎和觅食过程中的合作模型 2)适应环境变化和资源变化的新通信模式。 3)新的自组织算法，将任务适当的结构强加于覆盖活动，如侦察和监视。
