A Digital Simulation Model of Message Handling in the Tactical Operations Systems. 2. Extensions of the Model for Interactivity with Subjects and Experimenters

Abstract

Extensions and improvements are described to a previously developed digital computer model for simulating the actions of operational field army personnel performing their message processing tasks during a Tactical Operations Systems (TOS) mission. The computer model was made interactive via cathode ray tube to: (1) enable an experiment to initiate and control computer simulation runs, and (2) allow TOS operators at a computer terminal to perform selected tasks during the simulation. A series of model improvements found desirable, as a result of prior simulation run experience, is described. A revised version of the user's manual for the model is presented along with an Interactive Model User's Manual.
