Process Integrated Mechanism for Human-Computer Collaboration and Coordination ($1,000,000) Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, 15 Southeast Osceola Avenue, Ocala, FL, 34471 Many military scenarios ranging from combat operations to search and rescue can benefit significantly from teams of humans, robots, and computers that collaborate and coordinate together to solve a problem. This project will provide an innovative solution to the collaboration and coordination problem by tying together computers and humans into a single, collaborating system by virtue of a single program that rapidly moves between all the computers in the system. By making the program move fast enough, the approach creates the illusion of each computer running the same program all the time. Having a single program greatly simplifies the complexity of developing a solution for coordination and collaboration while at the same time improving the ability to debug, verify, and validate the solution. Furthermore, this approach will allow the system to be more robust, resilient, predictable, and efficient when compared to other approaches.
