ABSTRACT

Simulations are the means to establish inC's cognitive adequacy. Up to now, the author's description of inC has concentrated on its architecture and algorithms. This chapter presents its implementation and how this is used for simulations. It describes the interface of inC's implementation. In the top left of the simulator window, the four parameters for a simulation are specified. Next to this, the domain is chosen. Apart from the two domains the chapter discusses (motion events and the generation of sketch maps), users can define their own domains. The example simulation presented in the chapter is taken from Guhe et al. The example consists of a plane taxiing straight forward and then, starting at the position indicated by the dot, moving to the left. (The participants in the corresponding verbalization study see neither the dot nor the dashed line.) The plane moves before a white background.
