The MOVES Institute's Computer-Generated Autonomy Group has focused on a research goal ofmodeling intensely complex
and adaptive behavior while at the same time making the behavior far easier to create and control. This research has led to five new
techniques for agent construction, which include a social and organization relationship management engine, a composite agent
architecture, an agent goal apparatus, a structure for capturing and applying procedural knowledge (tickets), and the ability to bring these
technologies to bear at the right time and in the proper context through connectors.
The MOVES Institute, located on the campus ofthe Naval Postgraduate School, specializes in Department ofDefense related research and
applications, including projects in 3D visual simulation, networked virtual environments, computer-generated autonomy, human
performance engineering, technologies for immersion, evolving operational modeling and defense/entertainment collaboration
[http://movesinstitute.org/]. This paper provides a high level overview ofthe technologies developed by the Computer-Generated
Autonomy Group including a description ofresearch projects in the area of helicopter test and evaluation program planning, land
navigation route planning, modeling the effects of organizational changes on infantry units, integrating autonomous agents into networked
virtual environments, generating interactive stories, and modeling computer security.
