Abstract

This paper presents an approach to human-agent mixed teams for distributed team training, demonstrated through the integration of the domain independent multiagent architecture CAST with the military command-and-control simulation software DDD (distributed dynamic decision-making). We extend the CAST architecture in a way such that agents can replace any number of teammates on a DDD team. To capture the overall picture of teamwork, we explore the MALLET language in CAST for the specification of team structures and processes that involve both humans and agents.
