| dc.description.abstract | This document contains an overall description of the exploratory experiment “Negotiation based resource allocation”,
conducted by FFI-project 879 “NBF i operasjoner” in the period March 1-6 2005 during the military exercise Battle
Griffin 2005. The experiment was conducted as an integrated part of another FFI experiment: "Ad hoc organization of
picture compilation and situation awareness in NBD".
The aim of the experiment was to test a new resource allocation concept where the decision process is dynamic and
decentralized and based on negotiations reaching for consensus among users needing a given resource. The concept is a
mix of ideas based on electronic marketplaces and online collaborative tools. In the experiment, a simulated UAV was
selected as the resource in question. The collection of data from the chat-log, a questionnaire and observations will
result in further reports with more in-depth analysis.
The main conclusion from the project is that the concept “Negotiation based resource allocation” looks promising.
However, there is a need for training and familiarizing into new processes and a completely new organizational setting. | en_GB |
