Improved Behavioral Representation for Operations other than War Within Aggregate Level Simulations

摘要

This technical effort was sponsored by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) and performed over a 14-month period under Army Research Laboratory (ARL) contract DAADl7-00-A-5003, 'Improved Behavioral Representation for Operations Other Than War Within Aggregate Level Simulations.' This program will be referred to as the Operations Other Than War (OOTW) Human Behavioral Representation (HBR) program. This report summarizes the objectives and outcomes of this program. The focus of this effort was to implement improved OOTW HER into a constructive simulation. For this effort we reviewed various constructive simulations to evaluate their ability to portray human behaviors in an OOTW setting, and based upon this review, a candidate constructive simulation was selected. We then cataloged currently available HER behaviors within our selected OOTW constructive simulation. Next, within the constructive simulation, we implemented an advanced client-server architecture to incorporate improved HER via an external server. We also developed and demonstrated a proof-of- concept OOTW HER server using the client-server architecture.
