A Proposed Military Planning Task Simulator Using ROSS Language.

Abstract

Planning, particularly military planning, is viewed as the integration of subplans, each of which serves to accomplish a subgoal of the original goal. This model serves as the conceptual framework of the planning task simulator. The simulator is an environment in which task specialists, modeled by expert systems, are used to formulate courses of action to meet the given subgoals. Portions of the simulator have been implemented as a demonstration of the feasibility of this approach, as well as a guide for future developers. The language used was ROSS, an object-oriented simulation language embedded in Franz Lisp or MacLisp and developed by the Rand Corporation. The implementation was done on the Air Force Institute of Technology's Scientific Support Computer, a VAX 11/780. The dialect used was the Franz Lisp version of ROSS.
