Through methods from the fields of operations research, computer science, and engineering, readers are guided through the history, current training practices, and modern methodology related to combat modeling and distributed simulation systems. Comprised of contributions from leading international researchers and practitioners, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the engineering principles and state-of-the-art methods needed to address the many facets of combat modeling and distributed simulation and features the following four sections:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFoundations\u003c\/b\u003e introduces relevant topics and recommended practices, providing the needed basis for understanding the challenges associated with combat modeling and distributed simulation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCombat Modeling\u003c\/b\u003e focuses on the challenges in human, social, cultural, and behavioral modeling such as the core processes of \"move, shoot, look, and communicate\" within a synthetic environment and also equips readers with the knowledge to fully understand the related concepts and limitations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDistributed Simulation\u003c\/b\u003e introduces the main challenges of advanced distributed simulation, outlines the basics of validation and verification, and exhibits how these systems can support the operational environment of the warfighter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAdvanced Topics\u003c\/b\u003e highlights new and developing special topic areas, including mathematical applications fo combat modeling; combat modeling with high-level architecture and base object models; and virtual and interactive digital worlds.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing practical examples and applications relevant to industrial and government audiences, \u003ci\u003eEngineering Principles of Combat Modeling and Distributed Simulation\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of operations research, military modeling, simulation, and computer science.
