Artificial Game Intelligence
Once you have specified your data-processing logic in Simbionic editor, you can immediately run that logic in the SimBionic runtime engine. The runtime engine is a highly efficient C++ or Java component designed for rapid integration with your application or web server. SimBionic also includes an interactive debugger, a full-featured debugging environment designed to help you find and fix problems in the event processing logic. With the SimBionic debugger, you can walk through your logic diagrams step by step, inspecting data values and setting breakpoints to help track down subtle mistakes.

From Scientific American:
University of Maryland researchers have created a virtual world they hope intelligence analysts will use to develop antiterrorism policies.
Virtual worlds such as Second Life and World of Warcraft allow players to adopt virtual personas or engage in combat on digital battlefields, but what if similar technology could let government intelligence analysts play out antiterrorism scenarios that would help with better understandings of the consequences of Middle East policy recommendations? A team of researchers at the University of Maryland in College Park, Md., believe they have created just such a virtual world using computational models that mimic terrorist behavior based a variety of factors, including social, political and religious beliefs.

My Comment: I guess this will be the closest that we will ever come to mimicking real war/conflict/terrorism scenarios.
