TACOP: a cognitive agent for a naval training simulation environment

Published:25 July 2005Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes how cognitive modeling can be exploited in the design of software agents that support naval training sessions. The architecture, specifications, and embedding of the cognitive agent in a simulation environment are described. Subsequently, the agent's functioning was evaluated in complex, real life training situations for naval officers.
