MEETINGS
Bob Hammell and two of his doctoral students (Anthony Barnes and Tim Hanratty) visited with Dr. John Yen and others at the Pennsylvania State University. They discussed potential collaborative efforts in extending PSU's current R-CAST (Recognition Primed Decision-making enabled Collaborative Agents for Simulating Teamwork) model. The R-CAST model simulates decision-making activities and team behaviors, and is currently supported by various government agencies including the Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen, MD. Discussions are continuing with regard to using the R-CAST model as a basis for dissertation research by one or both of the students.
