We describe our progress on instrumenting a Navy software simulator for use in the context of intelligent agent research. The Tactical Action Officer (TAO) Sandbox, which is being developed at the University of Southern California, is used by officers to practice tactical decision making in the context of Navy surface fleet missions. NRL and Knexus Research Corporation have integrated this simulator with intelligent agents using the Lightweight Integration and Evaluation Testbed (LIET), thus permitting the agent to play the role of a trainee. This will permit us to use the TAO Sandbox in our artificial intelligence research, where we are currently focusing on algorithms for continuous planning that can dynamically reason about what goal should be pursued at any time during a mission. This paper briefly descibes our motivation for this integration, project status involving this simulator, and future goals.

DISTRIBUTION/AVAILABILITY 5 1 T ¶13UTION STATEMENT A Approved for Public Release Distribution Unlimited SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACTThis report describes research conducted by the University of Southern California Behavioral Technology Laboratory in developing iRides, an advanced system for delivering authored interactive graphical simulations and instructional vignettes. The system provides the ability to deliver simulation-based instruction as Java applications, Java applets, and Java Web Start applications. The latter two options make it possible for these authored interactive graphical simulations and training to be delivered over the Web or any similar network to support advanced distributed learning. A new authoring tool, iRides Author, supports development of any simulations and instruction that iRides can deliver. The applet version of iRides can be delivered as a SCORM-compliant shareable content object. Another tool for authoring iRides simulations and training, Rivets, is a fast C++ program that has been compiled for three Unix-type operating systems: Linux, Silicon Graphics IRIX, and Mac OS 10.3 or later with X1 i. The flexible and open architecture of iRides makes it possible to employ this tool in collaboration with other advanced training system components, such as intelligent tutors. 20060703029Award ONR FNC: ADDL-The KMT Project Final Report Knowledge, Models, and Tools in Support of Advanced Distance Learning UCLA Award 0070-G-CH640 Supported by Office of Naval Research Grant N00014-02-1-0179 S 1.0 A technology for delivering simulation-based distance learning Instruction in the Context of Simulations 0Conventional distance learning is typically based on a page model of instruction. A student reads material on a page and/or views some graphics or listens to audio associated with that page, and then takes some action that leads to the presentation of another page. In some cases, a book-like ...
