چکیده

Effective Command and Control (C2) is enabled by information technology, but the potential of C2 through virtual environments offers opportunities for radical increases in awareness and performance. To realize such radical increases, we are engaged in a campaign of experimentation to assess C2 in virtual environments through the ELICIT (Experimental Laboratory for Investigating Collaboration, Information-sharing, and Trust) multiplayer online counterterrorism intelligence game. Currently ELICIT has only a primitive textual interface. This research seeks to investigate the impact of translating game-play into more immersive virtual environments, where participants interact as avatars and in modes that are reminiscent of physical experiences. Indeed, drawing from research in modeling and virtual environments, we hypothesize that a more immersive virtual environment offers potential to improve performance. Building on previous work in establishing design parameters for virtual environments, this research moves toward a more complete integration of ELICIT into the virtual space. This is accomplished by augmenting basic game-play functionality with more complex interactions in the virtual space and by investigating a fully automated agent-based experimentation utilizing ELICIT in virtual environments. The research described in this paper explores the impact of virtual environments on game-play and seeks to understand which aspects of C2 can be performed better through virtual environments than their physical counterparts.

One essential function in Command is to determine roles, responsibilities and relationships, in order to enable, encourage and constrain certain behaviors. In the context of the complex endeavors expected to happen in the near future, this means to establish a collection of organizations that are fit for the missions. On the other hand, in recent years the mathematical field of Topology has bee...

Architecture frameworks have become a popular means to cope with the complexity of today’s enterprises. They support the specification of architectures by providing a method for designing and describing them. An architecture framework typically defines a common terminology, a set of views focusing on particular aspects of the architecture, a set of architecture types with varying levels of deta...
