Defense

The 21st Century global environment demands that military decision makers take into account the political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information (PMESII) environments when weighing the pros and cons of a particular course of action. Simulations can help inform leaders at all levels of the impact that a particular course of action may have upon this complex set of interrelated elements. This MODSIM track will address the impact that modeling and simulation has in helping decision makers understand and plan in their operational environment.
