“…Therefore, units with defined levels of resolution are replicated, their behavior is encoded in the simulator and human beings are usually given ordinary tasks: move to, defend the position, speed up, etc. The level of detail in actions depends on the resolution of a constructive simulation [ 16 ].…”

At the battalion level, NATO ROLE1 medical treatment command focuses on the provision of primary health care being the very first physician and higher medical equipment intervention for casualty treatments. ROLE1 has paramount importance in casualty reductions, representing a complex system in current operations. This study deals with an experiment on the optimization of ROLE1 according to the key parameters of the numbers of physicians, the number of ambulances and the distance between ROLE1 and the current battlefield. The very first step in this study is to design and implement a model of current battlefield casualties. The model uses friction data generated from an already executed computer assisted exercise (CAX) while employing a constructive simulation to produce offense and defense scenarios on the flow of casualties. The next step in the study is to design and implement a model representing the transportation to ROLE1, its structure and behavior. The deterministic model of ROLE1, employing a system dynamics simulation paradigm, uses the previously generated casualty flows as the inputs representing human decision-making processes through the recorder CAX events. A factorial experimental design for the ROLE1 model revealed the recommended variants of the ROLE1 structure for both offensive and defensive operations. The overall recommendation is for the internal structure of ROLE1 to have three ambulances and three physicians for any kind of current operation and any distance between ROLE1 and the current battlefield within the limit of 20 min. This study provides novelty in the methodology of casualty estimations involving human decision-making factors as well as the optimization of medical treatment processes through experimentation with the process model.

“…Therefore, EL can be used to replay, as many times as needed, all the events ordered in the proper time frame, perfectly mimicking the flow of events driven by human decisions. The level of detail of the events being recorded depends on the architecture of the constructive simulation [ 16 ].…”

With the improvement of network communication technology, creative computer simulation architectures and today’s cutting-edge hardware, the live-virtual-constructive (LVC) simulation technology gradually matures adequately to synthesize joint heterogeneous systems. Firstly, the development of typical LVC architectures and their key technologies are analysed, such as Advanced Distributed Simulation (ADS), High-Level Architecture (HLA), Test and Train Enabling Architecture (TENA), Joint Simulation Supporting Platform (JoSim) and so force. Then, applications in the field of US and Chinese military are reviewed, as well as cases in air combat training and other scholarly research concept. Finally, a summary of LVC technology is given, and the development trend of military LVC simulation technology is predicted to explore the specific content that needs to be studied.

“…Platform and implementation independence is a major concern in the modeling and simulation community and is essential when combining several distributed simulations in a shared so-called Life, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) environment. 39,40 Various players on various simulation systems can play in person (with instrumentation) or move entities around either as first person players or as leaders of semi-automated entity aggregates. The HLA and BOM format mentioned above are central to this (with the already-mentioned limitations).…”

A logic-based event controller for means-end reasoning in simulation environments

Simulation games are designed to cultivate expertise and rehearse particular skill sets. To yield longitudinal effects, sequences of events must be crafted to yield intended learning outcomes, sometimes by focusing on particularly difficult situations and replaying variants. The present paper develops a logic-based approach for encoding the interrelation between action, events, and objects in a manner that allows the resulting scenario description to immediately be executed in a game development environment. This has the dual effect of decoupling the description of a scenario from the simulation platform itself, as well as supporting iterative and flexible development of learning content. To this end, we provide three interrelated components: First, we develop a scenario description language based on Answer Set Programming. The language is designed to allow an automated reasoner to deduce a schedule of the future events that are caused by an action taken in a given simulation environment. Second, we define a protocol for exchanging actions and computed futures between, respectively, the simulation environment and the external automated reasoner. Finally, as a proof of concept, we develop an Application Programming Interface (API) for the Unity Real-Time Development Platform that implements the protocol and offers a software framework for connecting the computed future events to concrete game objects. This allows the game to evolve coherently from the specification. We argue that the resulting system inherits capabilities for artificial commonsense reasoning from its declarative basis which are useful for reasoning about an evolving emergency incident or training scenario.
