Enhancing Intelligence of Business Simulation Games

Developing computer simulation games incorporates different computing aspects such as computer graphic, artificial intelligence, simulation itself, software engineering, etc. This paper is focusing on building intelligence into business simulation games by embedding intelligent agents into its software. Agents are proposed to generate simulation scenarios; define initial conditions of the game and/or respond to players’ decisions by changing an economical environment according to the goals set by a game leader, and the agent’s behavioural rules. Other applications of intelligent agents such as when an agent simulates a tutor or acts as a virtual player are also discussed in the paper.
