Linking User Requirements to Techniques for Representing Human Behavior in Models and Simulations

摘要

The research community has been the leader of many valuable studies on how to represent human behavior in models and simulations. These studies have produced excellent modeling techniques, each possessing varying degrees of applicability, validity, and authenticity. The modeling and simulation community, however, has a need to identify the appropriate applications for each technique and ensure that models and simulations can wholly leverage research results and future development efforts. The community needs a method that relates human behavior "facts" to their true relevance in models and simulations. Research sponsored by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) is addressing this need. This research is defining a method that can be used by a modeler to identify how to best represent human behavior in models and simulations.
