This paper focuses on the development of a new generation of interoperable simulators of micro activities in a logistics node; the proposed example focuses on a real-time full-scope virtual simulator of port activities able to simulate the activities of the whole port by having ships, cranes, trucks and containers interoperating in a federation. The technologies adopted in terms of architecture and installation were very effective in creating a mobile laboratory open to further extension by online interoperation with other simulators and with biomedical devices for assessing human capabilities within this framework. This approach allows us to face the existing challenges in extending the capabilities of a logistics node over their current capabilities limited by technological and human factors
Over the last decade the authors have been working on several researches concerning the use of intelligent agents for managing simulation of critical situations in security, such as managing civil disorders, riots or terrorist actions. The adoption of intelligent agents to reproduce human behaviour is a key factor to implement realistic models for security and civil protection. Human behaviour is very complex to be simulated and it is important to early test final results to get consistent models. In this paper is described the use of early testing procedures to anticipate results before the VV&A phase. It is, in fact, useful to adopt this kind of early testing activities in application of intelligent agents with human behavioural models
The research proposes the development of a simulation framework for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of different alternative command, control, communications and computers (C4) solutions in an urban environment affected by asymmetric warfare. The authors present their approach in developing intelligent agents computer-generated forces (IA-CGF) in a non-conventional framework related to the project named CGF C4 IT. In the current military context, characterized by new asymmetric threats (i.e. terrorism, biological attacks) and affected by new technologies solutions, it is critical to measure the effectiveness of different command and control (C2) maturity models involving local and coalition forces, police and other resources in an overseas urban framework. As a matter of fact, this is one of the main goals of the CGF C4 IT project which is devoted to investigating alternative C2 models for guaranteeing agility in complex scenarios. The CGF C4 IT federation is a high level architecture simulator, designed by the authors, and currently devoted to supporting Italian Army simulation capabilities. This represents an innovative and effective solution for investigating, by experimental analysis, the C2 agility concepts within a complex framework with special attention to human behavior models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
