Description: Explore the military and combat applications of modeling and simulationEngineering 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).
Notes: Chapters 1-15 written by Andreas Tolk; chapters 16-32 written by various authors.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
