CFOR Approach to Simulation Scalability

ARPA, in its STOW program, expressed a goal of expanding virtual simulation exercises to encompass 100,000 DIS entities. Obvious scalability challenges to meeting this goal are the computer and network issues such as bandwidth and computing power. However, human issues are also relevant; such issues include exercise management, reducing the staffing necessary for an exercise, and maintaining re...

An Analysis of CFOR Planner

Details of the CFOR Planner

task flaw: If an abstract cannot be decomposed, the decision that added the abstract task is implicated in the failure. IPC threat: An IPC threat arises when the effect of some tasks violates an IPC. In this case, the decision that introduced the IPC and the decision that introduced the threatening task are both implicated. Codesignation violation: A codesignation violation occurs when two vari...

Implementation of Command Forces (CFOR) Simulation

Simulating Student Programmers

A cognitive model of student programmers is presented. The model is based on protocol studies of students wri t ing Pascal programs, and is implemented in a computer simulation program. The claim of this paper is that a computational cognitive model of student program generation fits within a generate-test-and-debug (GTD) problem solving architecture in which impasse/repair knowledge plays a ke...
