Training Course

A training course on Cougaar Task/Allocation planning can be found in these two zip files.  While they are for an older version of Cougaar, the 188 slides are the most thorough Cougaar training material.

Pizza Party (PizzaApplication)

The “Pizza Party” application demonstrates some of the more advanced Task/Allocation and service provider discovery capabilities of the Cougaar planning domain. See the PizzaApplication for notes on running and using the Pizza application.  Pizza was developed under Cougaar 11.4 and has not been tested with Cougaar 12.x.
