Method for development of Human behaviour models for simulation based training

摘要

There is a growing interest in Human Behavior models for training purposes. The reason for this is twofold: Firstly, the cost of training will drop by using cognitive agents as team members or adversaries, because the number of human participants will decrease. Secondly, cognitive agents can enhance training effectiveness. Therefore a new research program was started for the Royal Netherlands Navy to enhance their tactical training facilities. Human behavior models were developed in CogNet to act as opposing forces. This will dramatically decrease the number of human participants during training exercises. The scenario's were developed within VR-forces from MAK technologies. This paper describes the first phase of the program in which cognitive tasks analysis were used to describe the behavior of opposing forces and their implementation in CogNet. Furthermore the use of the Critical Event and Behavior Specification (CEBS) method for designing a cognitive model supported tactical training (CMSTT) are described.
