Thus, DL tracker can operate on GMTI data with low detection thresholds and detect very low signal tracks.

By acting as a sort of \"universal remote\" to many agents in a system, an MBNLI can enable a user to command and query these agents using natural language.

There have been many approaches which deal with multi-sensor tracking and observation, but there haven't been many which deal purely with targets detections i.e. each target needs to only be detected once. The metric used to gauge the performance of the system is percentage of targets detected among those that enter the area. Targets enter the area through source points on the side of the area according to Poisson distribution, the rate of entry is constant for all sources. The algorithm presented here uses target arrival information, sensor positions to generate an optimal motion strategy for the multi-sensor system every T time-steps i.e. every T time-steps, the probability of finding undetected targets is estimated, the optimal sensor paths for the next T time-steps are calculated.

The neurons are activated by a stimulation from an inside world of brain or a stimulation through five senses by an outside world in the nature. In this activation mechanism, we know that the neurons are trying to form a group of knowledge structure (knowledgebase) in order to get a suitable answer (output) to the stimulation (input) as noted in the paper KEVIAS2005, referring Sugiyama (2005). This group of knowledgebase can treat many kinds of things like \"Go\", \"Take\", \"See\", \"What\", etc. in a sentence of semantics, in a human case for instance. And we also know that a living creature can behave or talk with others by using these kinds of knowledgebase. In addition to this, we can say the following thing; a communication with others is possible to make when we use a same kind of the knowledgebase that consists of inside at each creatures or human's brain. So in this paper, with the information about these kinds of facts, here studies about two agents talk with knowledgebase method by introducing a new idea of fractured words in sentence.

The near-term goal of SSTR is to provide the local populace with security, restore essential services, and meet humanitarian needs, while in the longer term ensure a stable infrastructure. Large scale disasters are an example where SSTR operations can provide value. In such scenarios, local governments and non-governmental institutions are under great stress in order to respond in a timely manner to provide basic relief to the affected communities, and there may be outburst of aid from the local groups. All of this can lead to a less than desirable outcome if poorly coordinated! The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) is becoming increasingly important. These assets can enable the collection of needed information for the execution of a given set of tasks. In large scale operations, however, the ability for the UAVs to self-coordinate may be needed as it will be difficult for human operators to effectively control large teams of UAVs. This paper will begin by introducing some of the key aspects of multiagent coordination, with a focus on the operational challenges with regard to SSTR such as disaster management response as well as UAV coordination. We will then discuss the coordination challenges and gaps in order to motivate an adaptive, multiagent based approach to coordination as well as additional opportunities for research.
