Validation is the process of determining if a model adequately represents the system under
study for the model's intended purpose. Validation is a critical component in building the …

The history of simulation and combat modeling associated with the military, and with military
actions, is as old as the human race. Since humans began competing for resources, those …

Today's Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facility Management (AEC/FM) industry
has to deal with complex obstacles (eg, aging infrastructure, the protection of the natural …

Computational models have been extensively used in military operations research, but they
are rarely seen in military history studies. The introduction of this technique has potential …

This paper identifies problems in Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) validation and proposes a
new modelling framework and diagramming technique to help solve those problems. The …

The difficulties of validating an agent-based model (ABM) are well documented. Due to the
complexities of the phenomenon that are traditionally modeled using ABM, it is difficult to …

In this paper, the problem of qualitative description and quantitative optimization for tactical
reconnaissance agents system organization is considered with objective of higher teamwork …

This paper provides a new way of analysing the concept of change within the field of military
history. The proposal is based on the use of complex adaptive systems and evolutionary …

Archaeological studies on battlefields may see great benefits from simulated military
engagements: simulations help testing hypotheses based on historical data and may also …
