Abstract
Theory of mind based reasoning is crucial for humans that interact with each other. Also in the domain of multi-agent systems the importance of theory of mind based reasoning has been stressed, for instance in the process of selecting appropriate actions. In this paper, a theory of mind based approach is presented which goes beyond the capabilities of currently existing agent-based theory of mind approaches by adding certainties to predicted states, and predicting over a longer period of time thereby generating multiple predictions using the theory of mind model. This approach has been applied to the domain of fighter pilots whereby intelligent opponents are developed to facilitate dedicated training for F16 fighter pilots.
