Developing User Models for Military Command and Control

The Artificial Intelligence Research Group at the Royal Military College of Canada is a key contributor in the development of future command and control systems for the Canadian military. The assumption of user characteristics that influence plan recognition, such as knowledge, beliefs, and preferences is a key focus of our research group. We are developing a user modelling system that will incorporate plan recognition to provide an effective and efficient tool for a commander to plan military operations. 1 Introduction The Royal Military College of Canada conducts research into the use of artificial intelligence techniques for command and control systems. This research is conducted in cooperation with the two Canadian Defence Research Establishments in Valcartier, Quebec and Suffield, Alberta. When the group was first established, research focused on the multibillion dollar Tactical Command, Control, and Communications System. At that time, solutions were sought for a range of probl..
