TOPIC:       Intelligent Agents for Simulation Environments:
             Intelligent Automated Pilots for Interactive Battlefields

SPEAKER:     Prof. Paul Rosenbloom,
             USC ISI.

DATE:        15 November 1995 (Wednesday night)

TIME:        The talk will begin at 7:30.

PLACE:       Loyola Marymount University, Pereira Hall 51.
             (Note change from the more usual Pereira 27.)
             LMU is located at Loyola Blvd. and 80th Street in
             Westchester. From the 405, take the Manchester exit
             and proceed west to Loyola Blvd.  Turn north, and
             continue until you enter the LMU campus.  Ask the
             guard for directions to Pereira Hall. Parking is free.

ABSTRACT:    Advanced distributed simulation (ADS) environments,
             such as the DIS battlefield, provide virtual worlds
             in which both people and intelligent (virtual) agents
             can interact in unscripted ways. One of the ways that
             AI can contribute significantly to their utility is
             through the creation of intelligent agents that can
             replace and/or supplement human participants.
             Professor Rosenbloom will describe recent work in
             developing intelligent pilot agents for DIS. These
             agents are based on Soar, an integrated AI/cognitive-modeling
             architecture, and have already successfully participated in
             an operational military exercise with human pilots.
             
BIOGRAPHY:   PAUL ROSENBLOOM is an Associate Professor of Computer Science
             at the University of Southern California (USC)
             and the Deputy Director of the Intelligent Systems
             Division at the USC Information Sciences Institute.
             He received his B.S. degree in mathematical sciences
             from Stanford University in 1976 and his M.S. and Ph.D.
             degrees in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon
             University in 1978 and 1983, respectively. He is a
             Fellow of the AAAI and has been Chair of ACM SIGART
             and a AAAI Councillor.
