Abstract

Discusses our approach to the problem of refining high-level simulation specifications. Our domain is simulated combat training for tank platoon members. Our input is a high-level specification for a training scenario and our output is an executable specification for the behavior of a network-based combat simulator. Our approach combines a detailed model of the tank training domain with nonlinear planning and constraint satisfaction techniques. Our initial implementation is successful in large part because of our use of domain knowledge to limit the branching factor of the planner and the constraint satisfaction engine.
