HFM-128 NATO research task group on representation of human behavior in constructive simulation

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors group has approved the formation of a study group, HFM-128, on human behavior representation (HBR) in constructive simulation. The differentiating focus of this working group is the translation of HBR concepts into a combined "how-to" and "when-to" guide for military simulation "practitioners." Previous efforts have identified the shortcomings and research challenges of current HBR and have surveyed the state-of-the-art, providing the necessary foundation for the work effort of HFM-128. This paper outlines the goals of the group, the HBR framework being adopted to guide the work, and the planned end products. The paper concludes with a call for data and information
