Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO): This project involves specifying the architecture for 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.

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 for the Combined Forces Command Korea, 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.

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.

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.

Internal Research & Development: This project involved creating 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.
