Goals

   Design and implement a mechanism for dynamic trust recalibration that adapts to evolving mission phases and changes in agent autonomy levels, incorporating plan recognition and collective intention modeling.

Research Focus and Objectives​

   The thesis explores dynamic trust recalibration adapting to mission phases and changing agent autonomy levels.​

Methodology and Implementation​

   Plan recognition, intention modeling, and trust logic are developed and tested in simulated multi-agent environments.​

Evaluation and Success Metrics​

   Trust update speed, accuracy, team cohesion, and reduced misalignment define the mechanism's effectiveness.​

Project Deliverables​

  Deliverables include recalibration algorithms, mission simulations, evaluation reports, and the thesis document.​

Main Tasks: - Task 1: Research plan recognition and intention modeling in multi-agent systems. - Task 2: Define mission phase transitions and autonomy shift scenarios. - Task 3: Develop trust recalibration logic based on cognitive and operational context. - Task 4: Implement recalibration mechanism in a simulated mission environment. - Task 5: Evaluate adaptation speed and trust accuracy during dynamic changes. - Task 6: Finalize thesis and prepare presentation.

Deliverables (Besides the final thesis document): - Trust recalibration algorithm - Simulation of evolving mission scenarios - Evaluation report on adaptation and trust accuracy

Evaluation Criteria - Speed and accuracy of trust updates during autonomy shifts - Effectiveness in maintaining team cohesion across mission phases - Reduction in trust misalignment due to outdated assumptions
