abstract = {This paper describes a project to develop autonomous commander agents for synthetic battlespaces. The commander agents plan missions, monitor their execution, and replan when necessary. To reason about the social aspects of group behavior, the commanders take various social stances that enable them to collaborate with friends, exercise or defer to authority, and thwart their foes. The purpose of this paper is to describe these capabilities and how they came to be through a series of lessons learned while developing autonomous agents for this domain.},

abstract = {Simulation-based training is using increasingly complex synthetic forces. As more complex multiechelon synthetic forces are employed in simulations, the need for a realistic model of their command and control behavior becomes more urgent. In this paper we discuss one key component of such a model, the autonomous generation and use of priority intelligence requirements within multi-echelon plans.},

abstract = {In this paper we describe our efforts to model command and control entities for Joint Synthetic Battlespaces. Command agents require a broader repertoire of capabilities than is typically modeled in simulation. They must develop mission plans involving multiple subordinate units, monitor execution, dynamically modify mission plans in response to situational contingencies, collaborate with other decision makers, and deal with a host of organizational issues. We describe our approach to command agent modeling that addresses a number of these issues through its continuous and collaborative approach to mission planning.},
