ICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” Title : “ Fidelity versus Cost in Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Fidelity and cost are intertwined in any model or simulation but how does one affect the other? As with most simulations, human factors are present from development through acquisition to the end users perception of the simulation fidelity. This paper begins to examine the relationship between cost and fidelity and how the human perception affects the two. In addition to fidelity and the cost thereof, the author begins the exploration of the concept of a theoretical 100% fidelity and its relationship to the perceived fidelity of the end user. Introduction: In both the private sector and government organizations, pressure is continuously applied to the work force to produce “better, faster, and cheaper.” “Cheaper,” or more professionally stated as reduction of expenditures, is my focus and its effect of the end product and its customers, or users. The Modeling & Simulation world is not immune to rising costs and reduced budgets. Included in the applications of Models and Simulations are training, analysis, experimentation, and acquisition. Each of these applications can be adversely affected by poor fidelity. In some cases, cost may be either the culprit or contribute to the problem. Questions we must answer are: “Is the resultant simulation ‘good enough’ to meet the end user’s/customer’s need?” Assuming that the simulation is “good enough,” the following need to be considered: “Is the customer satisfied with the simulation?” “Even

ICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” Security Metrics for Communication Systems
This report discusses the possibility of creating meaningful security metrics for communication systems. In particular, we examine security metrics from an axiomatic standpoint and prove that it is not possible to measure trust in an absolute sense. We do not conclude that it is impossible to create a secure communication system; rather we argue that it is impossible to detect the occurrence. W...

To complement the traditional reductionism approaches, many C2 analysts and designers are now considering holistic and middle-out approaches that could better deal with the evergrowing complexity of modern command and control systems. In this article, four “complex conditions” (called modalities) are proposed for studying Complex Systems (CxS) and to characterize their evolution toward superior...

The impacts of implementing Effects Based Operations (EBO) on Course of Action (COA) development and evaluation will be significant. Because EBO focuses on producing effects from military activities, as opposed to the direct result of attacking targets, there is an opportunity to develop a significantly higher number of COAs that achieve the desired effects. Consequently, EBO planning will sign...

The new deployments of the German Federal Armed Forces necessitate analysis of large quantities of HUMINT reports. The realized ZENON system uses an information extraction approach for the (partial) content analysis of English HUMINT reports from the KFOR deployment of the Bundeswehr. More than 4,000 military reports from this deployment were used as a starting point for the realization of the ...
