Abstract

This article describes a general-purpose programmable substrate designed to allow cognitive modeling systems to interact with off-the-shelf interactive applications. The substrate, called VisMap, improves on conventional approaches, in which a cognitive model interacts with a hand-constructed abstraction, an artificial simulation or an interface tailored specifically to a modeling system. VisMap can be used to construct static scenarios for input to a cognitive model, without requiring its internal modification; alternatively, the system can be integrated with a cognitive model to support direct control of an application.
