Composing tactical agents through contextual storyboards

This paper presents the novel use of storyboards for composing, organizing and visualizing tactical agents designed to serve as computer generated forces. These tactical agents represent enemy forces that act and react to trainee actions and are specifically used here to populate military training scenarios. The tactical agents are based on the Context-based Reasoning human behavior representation paradigm. This application of storyboards facilitates the use and visualization of the contextual elements that make up the composed agents. The use of the approach is described and an informal qualitative evaluation is conducted.
