from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 2 Workshop 14The U.S. DoD (OASD/NII) Command and Control
Research Program (CCRP) has sponsored the design
and development of a software environment for
conducting human-in-the-loop experiments focused
on information- and social-domain phenomena. This
experiment has come to be know as the ELICIT
Experiment (Experimental Laboratory for
Investigating Collaboration, Information-sharing, &
Trust). Over the course of several Project Albert
International Workshops, EBR has strived to create
and improve a simulation version of the experiment.
Utilizing the NetLogo agent-based modeling
environment, we have built upon prior work,
augmenting the model to more explicitly represent
cognitive and collaborative processes. During this
week, Ms. Danielle Martin, Tony Costa, Karina
Malvaez-Buenrostro, and Fidencio Vargas-Davila,
have worked to study how sharing behaviors such as
posting, direct sharing, hoarding, and processing affect
an organization’s performance in solving a simple
cognitive task
