Operational Flexibility in Complex Enterprises: Case Studies from Recent Military Operations

چکیده
ion is a key principle in software engineering (Fielding 2000). For computer scientists, architecture is the overall concept that drives the choice of system parts, the specification of interfaces between parts and the constraints on performance of parts and the system. This approach enables easier adjustment of a design as technology improves or as performance requirements change (Gifford and Spector 1987b; Perry and Wolf 1992).

متن کاملLinking missions to scenarios for analysis of military macro-systems
Military Operations Research studies often involve the analysis of structured descriptions of plausible contingencies called ‘scenarios’. While scenarios attempt to provide a sufficient account of an unfolding contingency they do not typically include details of specific types of missions undertaken at the operational level or even the broad roles of the military forces undertaking those missio...
