The premise of the agent paradigm, its related theory and methodologies
together with advances in multilevel modeling of complex systems of
interactions opened new frontiers for advancing the physical, natural,
social, military, and information sciences. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
intelligent agents are sources of synergy for simulation and computer-based
games. They support striking realism of the physical environment and provide
unique opportunities for learning and complex operations.
The purposes of this special issue are as follows:
(1) explore the relationship of AI, in general, and software agents, in
particular, to simulation and games and
(2) discuss advancements and applications in AI-inspired simulation game
technology. This will include agents with advanced cognitive abilities
(introspection, perception, anticipation, and understanding) as well as
those representing personality, emotion, and cultural aspects of individuals
and societies including issues of ethical behavior.
The special issue will also address agent-supported game technology to both
increase accessibility to simulation and enhance problem solving, analysis,
design, decision making, testing, and operations as well as training and
e-learning.
The special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from
diverse simulation gaming societies within computer science, social
sciences, engineering, business, education, and entertainment. The
involvement of various simulation gaming groups will enable the
cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by
fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for
agent-mediated simulation gaming.
