(Game for Intelligent Simulated Military Opponents)
The Institute for Simulation and Training in Orlando is pleased to
announce the First Game for Intelligent Simulated Military Opponents.
In order to stimulate research in the fields of interactive distributed
simulation and behavioral modelling, IST will be sponsoring a competion.
Competitors are invited to write programs to control a small force of tanks
in a simple scenario. Programs will communicate with a battle simulator via
2400-baud modems on toll-free telephone numbers, and will compete directly
with each other.
The competition will be open to any school, company, individual or
group of individuals using any kind of computing machinery. Full details
of the competition, including rules, specification of the scenario and
how to communicate with the simulator, are now available. Competitors will
have approximately one year to develop their programs. The competition will
be held in October and November of 1991.
