Select one of the links below.

• US Pacific Command (USPACOM): Defined conceptual model to address geo-political decisions reflecting psychological and sociological responses to the decisions by the various individuals and groups in the decision environment. Discussed the model as invited speaker to AMORS III in Bangkok, Thailand (see link in SO/LIC project below).

• USPACOM: This project involved defining the requirements for analytical tools to support OOTW (see link in the PA&E project below).

• Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Program Analysis & Evaluation (PA&E): This project involved defining the Joint Warfare Simulation (JWARS) support for OOTW, as JWARS itself was being defined, comparing this support with the OOTW requirements for analytical tool support, and making recommendations.

• Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (OASD), Special Operations / Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC): This project involved defining the analysis requirements for Costing OOTWs, designing forces for OOTWs, simulating the impacts of events in OOTWs, and making recommendations.

• Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO): This project involves specifying the architecture for and creating an OOTW Toolbox.

• Internal Research & Development: This project involved creating 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.

• Military Operations Research Society (MORS): One 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. The third project involved chairing a working group on Understanding the Consequences of Catastrophic Events.

• 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.

• Naval Research Laboratory (NRL): This project involved providing advice on DIME/PMESII tools.

• National Defense University (NDU): This project involved chairing a working group on DIME/PMESII tools and verification & validation in a HSCB Workshop, co-chairing the Synthesis Working Group in the second workshop, and writing and editing the proceedings.

• NATO Code of Best Practice (COBP) for Command and Control Assessment: This project involved participating in the NATO SAS-026 Panel to enhance the existing COBP by considering OOTW.

• OPA 90 Analyses: Performed analyses of safety and economic regulatory questions for the US Coast Guard in response to requirements of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90).

• Historical Validation of Attrition Algorithms: Performed for The Joint Staff/J-8, this work consisted of investigation of historical battle results data. A new, validated attrition algorithm has been developed. A macro model was developed, the Oak Ridge Spreadsheet Battle Model (ORSBM), which is being used in analysis and teaching. Published the book Predicting Combat Effects in 2001.

• 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.

• Combat Effectiveness Study/Net Assessment: Performed for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Net Assessment, this project provided OSD with improved tools for net assessment of forces in support of force reduction initiatives.

• 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 for The Joint Staff/J-8 performed an application of IV&V at the model concept stage. This had never been done for a combat model and defined the methodology.

• Operation Alliance: Performed for the U.S. Joint Task Force 6 (JTF-6), this work supported federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the U.S. Southwest, including the organizational structure of their association, Operation Alliance.

• FBI Analyses: Performed analyses of FBI systems productivity and case backlog.
