Home > Technologies > Behavior Modeling Technologies | Behavior Modeling Through the development of the CGF we have developed unique technologies through which we provide CGF as well as other Autonomous Platforms the ability to behave in accordance with user defined behavior techniques and reaction paradigms. One and the main advantages of the SSG Simulation Engine is the large number of autonomous Computer Generated Forces (CGF) managed in the distributed scenario. The behavioral models are the main added value of the CGF Package. This module provide the CGF with the "intelligence" behavior which is in accordance with the domain expert definitions. Our technological approach is based in a combination of a State-Machine together with some concepts of SOAR. The behavior modeling paradigm is defined as a multi-phase action which is based on: User Friendly Behavior Editor - this application enables the User (Domain Expert) to define the required behavior and reaction paradigm. Run time decision making algorithm which implements the required behavior as a function of the perceived situation. The Behavior Editor is a user friendly GUI application which enables the Domain expert to define the behavior of the entity using the drawing of a State-Machine. The behavioral modeling of the CGF is based on a multi-layer modular decision making paradigm which includes: Situation Perception - This module is responsible for generating the perception of the entity based on the received information (simulated or real sensors). Decision Making - The decision making is done by our "Decide" module, this modules exercise the techniques defined by the Domain expert based on the perceived situation. The decision module is a combination of a State-Machine and SOAR. Logical Interpretation of Decision to Physical Actions - the logical instructions generated by the Decide module are interpreted to physical actions which are to be exercises by the platform. Each domain of actions is interpreted by a different controller ensuring translation of the logical action decided to a physical action that can be executed by the platform. Implementation of the Physical Actions - The Physical actions are implemented by a dedicated module which is responsible for the physical management of the platform. This can be a Simulation Module or an actual controller such as an Automatic Pilot System. The behavioral model implemented is constructed of several models which operate asynchronously but in concert in order to produce a logical behavior of the CGF. The main advantages in this multi-layer architecture are: Modularity - enabling high level of reuse of the code in different applications Close linkage between the Domain Experts knowledge and the end system behavior Application independent
