Complex artificial dynamic systems require advanced modeling techniques that can
accommodate their asynchronous, concurrent, and highly non-linear nature. Discrete Event …

This article introduces a simple multiagent-based" toy model" of land combat called ISAAC
(Irreducible Semi-Autonomous Adaptive Combat) to illustrate how certain aspects of land …

Introduction"... war is not an exercise of the will directed at inanimate matter, as in the case
with the mechanical arts, or at matter which is animate but passive and yielding as in the …

This paper presents research combining an agent-based modeling and simulation paradigm
with game theory for an in silico historical analysis of the Bay of Biscay submarine war …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents the science of complex systems that had a
significant impact on the way Western militaries understand and operate within exceedingly …

Traditional linear models of combat treat attrition as a continuous function of time. However,
recent thinking on the nature of warfare has it that combat is inherently non-linear. Non …

One of a new generation of combat models is examined to determine how its behaviour
differs from older approaches based on first-order linear differential equations. This new …
