Abstract

Recently the CGF/SAF (Computer Generated Force / Semi-Automated Force) technology has been getting attention to deal with the increasing complexity in a DM&S(Defence Modeling and Simulation) environment. OneSAF is one of well-known CGF/SAF systems, however, it is not able to support the DEVS framework which is an advanced discrete event based modeling and simulation environment. Especially, most DM&S systems in Korea has been developed on the basis of the DEVS framework. In this paper, we have proposed the agent-based SAF design methodology and tool for supporting DEVS M&S environment. The proposed SAF modeling tool is divided into two parts; the agent modeling part and SAF modeling part. In the agent modeling environment, the modeler can simply create the agent model by writing down the necessary rules. It also provides the agent testing environment so that the modeler maybe conveniently verify the prescribed agent model. The SAF model is finally created by combing the individual agents based on the pre-defined structure. DM&S engineers will be able to employ our tools and modeling methodology to design the DEVS-based DM&S system to be developed.

최근 M&S 및 DM&S (Defense M&S) 환경의 복잡성이 높아짐에 따라 인간 등의 자율세력을 표현하기 위한 기술로 CGF/SAF (Computer Generated Force/Semi-Automated Force)가 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 기존의 OneSAF 과 같은 선진국의 CGF/SAF 기반 DM&S 환경은 DEVS 프레임워크 중심의 국내 DM&S 시스템과 유기적 연동이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DEVS M&S환경을 지원하는 에이전트 기반의 SAF 설계 방법론 및 모델링 도구를 제안하였다. 제안한 SAF 모델링 도구는 에이전트 모델링 GUI와 SAF 모델링 GUI로 나누어진다. 에이전트 모델링 환경은 간단한 UI를 활용한 규칙 입력만으로 에이전트를 생성할 수 있다. 또한 에이전트 단위테스트 환경을 추가하여 UI 기반의 에이전트 모델의 검증이 가능하다. SAF 모델을 생성하기 위한 환경으로 개개의 에이전트 모델들의 구조적 결합을 정의할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구의 모델링 도구 및 방법론을 통해 DM&S 연구자 및 개발자들이 DEVS 기반의 DM&S 및 SAF 시스템을 구축하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
