Automatic performance monitoring and evaluation

With distributed interactive simulation (DIS) there is an opportunity for large scale computer based training (CBT). As more simulators interact through DIS, the complexity of the training systems increases. This, in turn, increases the work load on the instructor. Students are performing more complex tasks that cannot be viewed at a glance to determine their state. If an instructor has several students to monitor, it is difficult to track what each student is doing at any given time. One solution to this is to offload the instructor by interpreting and evaluating the student actions via computer programs. This can be accomplished through the use of advanced computer interpretation techniques. This interpretation will present to the instructor information concerning what and how the student is doing, without the need for the instructor to directly monitor the student.<>
