Two sets of simulations were conducted One set of simulations was performed with Computer Science students at Bar Ilan University in Israel. This set was performed in order to compare the agent’s performance to the performance of people. The second set of simulations was conducted with Government and Politics students at the University of Maryland. While the Maryland simulations were designed to test hypotheses relating to foreign policy decision-making, they will be presented here as a reliability check of the main Bar Ilan results. Each student was told his/her role in the simulation and they had fifteen minutes to work out a strategy and check their options by means of the GDSS. Pg 13 |
