Abstract

Adaptation of collaboration is needed to maintain the connectivity and quality of communication in group-wide collaborative activities. This becomes quite a challenge to handle when mobile entities are part of a wireless environment. In this paper, these challenges are addressed within the context of the SuperSenS project where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have to collaborate either between themselves or with remote human actors during search-and-rescue missions. This paper presents our first results. The final goal is to propose new concepts, models and architectures that support cooperative adaptation which is aware of the mission being executed. Thus, the collaboration can be adequately adapted in response to the mission requirements and to the changes in the resource constraints.
