The CE niche, most often a military battlefield, is a complex, dynamic , adversarial environment in which a CE must balance the needs for thorough planning with the need for quick reactions to changing conditions. We describe the requirements of this environment, and how it constrains the design of CEs. Examples from several CE designs are used. The paper concentrates on the areas of planning , knowledge and teamwork.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/171","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0171.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/171.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/171","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
