2. Outline “Agent-supported simulation deals with the use of agents as a support facility to enable computer assistance in problem solving or enhancing cognitive capabilities.” (ADS’06 definition)
The agent-supported simulation metaphor applies to testing the conformance of multi-agent systems to complex defense information standards
Structure control agents induce structural change in themselves or others to effectuate different behaviors under different circumstances
Structure control implemented in Dynamic Structure DEVS enables automation of standards conformance testing
DEVS formalism is capable of capturing the information-processing complexities, including the dynamics, underlying the MIL-STD-6016C standard
DEVS modeling and simulation methodology is attaining core-technology for automated testing of military tactical data link standards
3. Background: Simulation-based development implies the need for simulation-based testing
