Title: Decision-making in large-scale military simulation: a requirement for expert systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6415316

Computerized war-gaming and combat simulation represents a very fertile application area for artificial intelligence. In a war game or detailed simulation one typically finds multiple decision-making agents, each performing the tasks for which artificial intelligence (AI) is well-suited, such as hypothesis formulation, pattern recognition, planning, scheduling, and resource allocation, performed in an environment full of uncertainty and incomplete, distorted, or disguised information. The decision-makers are gathered together into two or more hierarchies, with information flow inside each hierarchy subject to interpretation and error.
