This paper describes an enhancement of the operator function model expert system architecture that integrates automated agent control capabilities with an agent based simulation investigating distributed air/ground traffic management. The enhanced architecture incorporates a new task manager module that handles task prioritization using a modified version of cockpit tasks management, a strategies and operational heuristics module that provides methodologies for prioritizing tasks and selecting operator actions, a simulation control module that emulates user input, and an interface to the state variables of the controlled simulation. The paper also discusses a new data visualization and analysis tool for analyzing the performance of the automated agent
