[ACT-R-users] Applicarions using ACT-R?

[BALL, JERRY T DR-03 USAF AFMC 711 HPW/RHAC]

Bonnie,

Our ACT-R based synthetic teammate technology is intended to be used in the development of agents capable of functioning as human teammates in Air Force relevant training simulations. We are about to begin an evaluation study in which we hope to demonstrate that human teammates show a main learning effect when interacting with a synthetic teammate in a UAV reconnaissance mission domain, as they do when interacting with all human teammates. We are also planning to begin development of an agent that will be integrated into an Air Support Operations Center (ASOC) training simulation.

A description of the project is available at:

Hi folks,
I'll be giving a short presentation about ACT-R to an internal group at IBM next week and would like to highlight places where ACT-R is being used in practical applications other than academic research. 
I'll have time for just one slide on the theory, one slide on the variety of scientific models, and one slide on real-world applications. I don't want to miss anything in this third slide, hence this email.


*	CogTool is obviouslya real-world application (though its not using much of the ACT-R theory) -- I won't forget that one! ;-) 
*	I was going to talk about cognitive tutors, because even though I don't think the things out of CarnegieLearning actually use ACT-R, the understanding of human learning that preceded the commercial product was obtained from ACT-R models (e.g., showing the learning at the production level, not problem-difficulty level). (Please jump in and tell me if I am wrong about this, Ken or Al or anybody.)


I'm looking specifically for any application where anyone is making any money, or saving taxpayers money (for you government folks), or making something safer in the real world (e.g., identifying fatigue or driver distraction or whatever).

Thanks!
Bonnie
