overview
Overview

Project

  • New cognitive architecture to address self-healing and self-defense in distributed networks
  • Will require advances in representation and reasoning, communications and interaction technology, computational perception, and learning
  • Begin with LAN problem testbed; later transition to other RAP applications
areas of research innovation
Areas of Research Innovation
  • Partially observable Markov decision processes
  • Distributed diagnosis and repair using coalition logic and game theory
  • Hierarchical distribution of intelligence
  • Adaptation and learning
technical rationale
Technical Rationale

Critical need for distributed cognitive networks

  • Operating with or without a centralized command node
  • Each node having knowledge of overall network and goals
  • Cognitive hierarchy functioning at individual node level, collaborating with neighboring nodes, and with global coordination and learning
  • Adaptive knowledge, building on individual and collaborative experience
technical rationale continued
Technical Rationale (continued)

LAN problem ideal for study

  • Well-defined problem; can be specified using only commercial components.
  • Complex – currently requires extensive human expertise
  • System is inherently distributed and amenable to solutions based on coalitions or teams of agents
  • System is subject to unpredictable changes in connectivity, hardware, firmware, and software at any time in any of its components
  • Connectivity of the system is unreliable, especially for wireless networks
network self awareness

Advise and Adapt

  • Communicate experience for installation and configuration
  • Update experience base with feedback

Remove Node

  • Remove from Collaboration Bus

Collaboration

Bus

Add Node

Reconfigure Node

  • Authenticate New Node
  • Auto-configure
  • Initialize state Information
  • Initiate Collaboration Bus

WAN

  • Register new application/functionality
  • Auto-configure
  • Re-initialize state Information
  • Update Collaboration Bus

Network Self-Healing, Self-Defense

Corrective Response

  • Communicate experience for diagnosis and repair
  • Update experience base with feedback

Web Server Attack

Collaboration

Bus

  • Identify source
  • Request assistance from firewall

Network Application

Failure

  • Identify incorrect/incompatible settings, consulting with neighboring nodes
  • Adjust local settings
  • Request network settings adjustment from routing node
a hard problem
A Hard Problem

The problem of distributed cognition is hard, and not yet tested in real-world domains. This will be the first application to combine

  • Extensive formal representation of network states
  • Partitioned and hierarchical intelligence
  • Coalition reasoning
  • Adaptive distributed knowledge base
