Abstract

The training of teams in highly dynamic, multi-agent virtual worlds places a heavy demand on an instructor. We address the instructor’s problem with the PuppetMaster. The PuppetMaster manages a network of monitors that report on the activities in the simulation in order to provide the instructor with an interpretation and situation-specific analysis of student behavior. The approach used to model student teams is to structure the state space into an abstract situation-based model of behavior that supports interpretation in the face of missing information about agent’s actions and goals.
