Socially situated planning provides one mechanism for improving the
social awareness ofagents. Obviously this work isin the preliminary
stages and many of the limitation and the relationship to other work
could not be addressed in such a short chapter. The chief limitation, of
course, is the strong commitment to de?ning social reasoning solely
atthe meta-level, which restricts the subtlety of social behavior.
Nonetheless, our experience in some real-world military simulation
applications suggest that the approach, even in its preliminary state,
is adequate to model some social interactions, and certainly extends the
sta- of-the art found in traditional training simulation systems.
