Opis

It has long been recognised that a war can be won by degrading or destroying an enemy''s resources to a point where they are no longer capable of or willing to wage war. Like traditional resources, it is now recognised that information is a resource, and can thus be attacked and defended. In conjunction with information technology, this realisation has created conditions for waging a new form of warfare, called Information Warfare. Software Agents are computer programs that have the characteristics of autonomy, intelligence and mobility. A Software Agent framework for Information Warfare, called TELUM, is proposed and described.
