Abstract: To overcome the shortcomings of the meta-model, the dynamic influence diagram game is used as simulation meta-model. A construction process and the utilization for structured dynamic influence diagram game (DIDG) are presented. The necessary simulation data are gathered for the construction of a DIDG that presents the changes in simulation state with chance nodes. The decision alternatives and objectives of the decision problem are included in the DIDG as decision and utility nodes. The adversary’s action is represented by an explicit decision node in which case an influence diagram game results. The constructed DIDG is solved to find the optimal both sides’ decision alternatives that maximize the expected value of the utility function. The DIDG is also used for studying the evolution of the simulation, conducting what-if analyses, and solving optimal strategies of the game as well as studying the strategies’ effects on the evolution of simulation. The simulation results show the construction of DIDG from simulation data and their utilization in the analysis of decision problems are feasible and effective.
