Abstract

This article describes the ExpertCop tutorial system, a simulator of crime in an urban region. In ExpertCop, the students (police officers) configure and allocate an available police force according to a selected geographic region and then interact with the simulation. The student interprets the simulation results with the help of an intelligent tutor, the Pedagogical Agent, observing how crime behaves in the presence of the allocated preventive policing. The pedagogical agent implements a strategy of explanation of the agentýs individual behavior to make simulated phenomena better understood.
