Explore the military and combat applications of modeling and simulation Engineering Principles of Combat Modeling and Distributed Simulation is the first book of its kind to address the three perspectives that simulation engineers must master for successful military and defense related modeling: the operational view (what needs to be modeled); the conceptual view (how to do combat modeling); and the technical view (how to conduct distributed simulation). 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: Foundations introduces relevant topics and recommended practices; providing the needed basis for understanding the challenges associated with combat modeling and distributed simulation.

That being said; it was a lot to take in. No speed reading this one. Made my brain hurt; a good thing!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Know the past to see the future!By Wiley TexSome detail gets a little redundant; but the insights into medical practice in America as it came into the scientific age is very good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. History of the many failed attempts to create quality affordable-healthcare for all before Obama CareBy Leslie C. CooverWritten before Obama Care came into being. I'd like to a book like this in 20 years or so to see if we have progressed or regressed in the pursuit of quality affordable-care for all.
