Towards Intelligent Automated Forces for Simnet

Abstract

The research supported by this contract is focused on an initial investigation of the use of the Soar architecture in constructing autonomous intelligent agents that can act as independent players in multi-agent simulation environments, such as Simnet. The work is being pursued in the context of a simplified battlefield environment called GridWorld, which was originally developed at the Hughes AI Center, and then enhanced by us during the initial six months of this contract. GridWorld provides a two-dimensional, multi-agent, real-time world in which both space and time are represented as continuous quantities. During the period covered by this report, we concentrated on two research activities: (1) investigating the integration of cognitive and spatial reasoning in a range of safe-traversal scenarios; and (2) extending GridWorld to allow multiple Soar-based agents to interact. The following sections provide additional detail on these two activities.
