                      CALL FOR PAPERS
                              
                     3rd Conference on
   Computer Generated Forces and Behavior Representation
                              
                     March 17-19, 1993
                      Orlando, Florida

Computer simulation is becoming increasingly important for training people
to work in complex environments. In domains where other intelligent entities
play an important role, the simulator must model the behavior of these
entities.  One such domain is battlefield simulation; to train a unit
commander effectively, the simulator must be populated with autonomous
agents representing friendly and opposing forces.  These forces are called
Computer Generated Forces (CGF).

Under the sponsorship of the US Army Simulation, Training, and
Instrumentation Command, the Institute for Simulation and Training is
hosting the third in a series of conferences on computer generated forces
and behavior representation.  These conferences serve as a focal point for
the exchange of research ideas in the area of intelligent agent design for
simulation.  Contributions are solicited in the areas of autonomous agent
design, behavior representation, human behavior modeling, and applications.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Intelligent agent architecture
   Integrated architectures
   Real-time systems
   Distributed and parallel implementations
   Proposed standard CGF architectures
     
Behavior description/representation
   Agent programming languages
   Expert systems
   Object oriented programming
 
Planning and problem solving
Learning agents
Coordination and cooperation among multiple agents
Spatial reasoning
   Route planning
   Planning viewpoints
 
Modeling human behavior
Validating behavior realism
Representation of specific behavior doctrines
Operator interfaces for semi-autonomous agents
Applications
   CGF                   Air traffic control
   Driving simulation    Emergency management
   
 
   SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
   
   Interested authors should submit a 1-2 page extended
abstract to the Conference Chair for review by the Program
Committee by 1 December 1992.  Please include the authors'
names and addresses on the abstract.  The Program Committee
will select papers for the conference on the basis of the
abstracts and notify all submitters of their decisions by 4
January, 1993.  Selected authors will be asked to submit
camera-ready papers of no more than 12 pages by 1 February
1993.  Correspondence relating to the submission will be
sent to the first author unless otherwise requested.
   
   CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
   
   All accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings.  The proceedings will be distributed at the
conference.
