Client List

Combined Forces Command Korea:

• Korean Battle Simulation Center (BSC): Technical lead for a $9 million, two year project in Korea and the U.S. to design and build the Korean BSC, a prototype battle simulation center, a facility large enough to support division level training exercises on its own and containing the technology to enable links with other BSCs during major exercises. Integrated 11 simulations to support exercises. This project involved the use of the Aggregate Level Simulation Protocol (ALSP) to connect previously unrelated interactive simulations into a world-wide distributed simulation confederation for training. Built and maintained the simulation databases. Operated the facility in order to define the proper procedures.

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA):

• As part of a team, created a VV&A Methodology for Conflict Modeling, Planning and Outcome Experimentation (COMPOEX), a DIME/PMESII simulation, including novel methods to support rapid validation under conditions of model changes and novel methods to support causal tracing..

Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO):

• Specified the architecture for an OOTW Toolbox. Performed testing on the toolbox and its components. Created a component for the toolbox.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI):

• Performed analyses of FBI systems productivity and case backlog.

Internal Research & Development:

• Created a tracking tool for OOTWs, the Interim Static Stability Model (ISSM). The ISSM was upgraded to the Interim Semi-static Stability Model , a full scale Diplomatic, Information, Military, Economic (DIME) / Political, Military, Economic, Social, Infrastructure, Information (PMESII) tool.

• Created a support tool for the Verification, Validation & Accreditation (VV&A) or DIME/PMESII models, the DIME/PMESII VV&A Tool. This tool keeps the records for conceptual model validation, static model verification & validation, data verification & validation, formal (dynamic) testing, and creation of accreditation certificates.

International Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project (IPAP):

• Algorithms for Psychopharmacology: Introduced the use of influence diagrams as an alternative presentation method for the International Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project (IPAP). Published a chapter in Textbook of Treatment Algorithms in Psychopharmacology, Wiley, 1999. Chaired the Technology working group in Beijing meeting in 2000. Chaired the Technology working group in Beijing meeting in 2000. Supported the creation of psychopharmacology algorithms.

Joint Staff:

• J8:

• Joint Virtual Analytic Center (JVAC): defined the requirements for electronic collaboration to support joint analysis at the Unified and Specified Commands and implemented the system in both an unclassified and a classified environment.

• Historical Validation of Attrition Algorithms: investigated historical battle results data. Developed a new, validated attrition algorithm. Developed the Oak Ridge Spreadsheet Battle Model (ORSBM), which is being used in analysis and teaching. Published the book Predicting Combat Effects in 2001.

• Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) of the Future Theater Level Model (FTLM) conceptual model: The standard model of verification and validation (V&V) presupposes a model concept against which the model is verified. This project performed an application of IV&V at the model concept stage. This had never been done for a combat model and defined the methodology.

• Modern Aids to Planning Program (MAPP) Model Improvement: Principal Investigator for integration of MAPP, a $6-10 million/year, multi-year computer war games project. This project involved design, implementation and improvement of several simulations and their support structure. Associated research included development of an expert system for Air Task Order (ATO) generation and the topology of the clustering algorithm.

• Studies, Analysis and Gaming Agency (SAGA):

• Combat Modeling Projects (1970s): Managed the conversion of combat models from IBM computers to Honeywell computers. Set standards and edited documentation for the Vector-1, TANDEM, and UNICORN combat models. Performed IV&V on the TAC CONTENDER combat model.

Milliken & Co.:

• Industrial Projects: Wrote custom Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) systems. Wrote system for scheduling polyester yarn texturizing equipment in several mills. Wrote system for scheduling looms in several mills. Solved problem of entering the Dress Business.

Military Operations Research Society (MORS):

• This project involved chairing a working group of a workshop on the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT).

• A second project involved co-chair of a working group on Analyzing the Impact of Emerging Societies on National Security.
