Structure and dynamics of military simulations

The widespread use of military simulations as a tool for predicting and evaluating systems operations has led investigators to ferret out the generic structure underlying the construct of such simulations. Although a good deal of success has been encountered in this effort, it is evident that only a start in this direction has been achieved thus far. In this discussion, we will indicate where the state-of-the-art rests today and attempt to point out further areas of investigation where new inroads may exist.
