Abstract
Simulators have been used for many years to learn driving, piloting, steering, etc. but they often provide the same training for each learner, no matter his/her performance. In this paper, we present the GULLIVER system, which determines the most appropriate aids to display for learner guiding in a fluvial-navigation training simulator. GULLIVER is a decision-making system based on an evidential network with conditional belief functions. This evidential network allows graphically representing inference rules on uncertain data coming from learner observation. Several sensors and a predictive model are used to collect these data about learner performance. Then the evidential network is used to infer in real time the best guiding to display to learner in informed virtual environment.
