Coffee, tea and refreshments from 9:15.

RMIT Intelligent Systems Group area, Level 8, Building 14

The meeting has an industry flavour to it, with both speakers coming from industry groups. The first speaker will be Rick Evertsz from AOS, and the second speaker will be Peter Ross from the DSTO, Air Operations Division. Titles and abstracts for the talks are below.

Rick Evertsz, AOS group

CoJACK - a BDI Cognitive Architecture

This talk will outline the CoJACK cognitive architecture. CoJACK is a BDI cognitive architecture. It is designed to provide an intuitive, high level behaviour representation language that exhibits variability across individuals and time. The included moderator layer enables modelling of physiological factors and affect (e.g. fatigue and fear). This talk will present some applications of CoJACK to military simulation.

Peter Ross, DSTO, Air Operations Division

Intelligent Agents for Military Training Systems

The use of intelligent computer generated forces within military training simulations is widely considered a means to reducing operating costs, improving the quality of training and increasing training opportunities. While intelligent agents have been successfully integrated into military analytical simulations to model computer generated forces, and there is evidence to support the same can be achieved for training purposes, they remain absent from all crew training simulators currently operated by the Australian Defence Force. This presentation will cover the work recently undertaken by Air Operations Division (Defence Science & Technology Organisation) to augment an air defence controller training simulator with BDI agents.
