Simulation-supported Wargaming in MNE 4 1. Introduction The objective of this document is to emphasize the importance of simulation as a measure of complexity reduction and planner’s tool for decision support in MNE 4’s Effects-Based Planning (EBP) process. Starting with an overview of the underlying principles of Wargaming and Modeling and Simulation (M&S), the outcome of this abstract is a ‘Process for the application of simulation to support Wargaming in MNE 4’.

When I was young, I listened to Bible Stories a lot. I had grown up hearing many of the stories out of order, and so I began reading the Bible. I wanted to put the events in chronological order in my own mind. After reading everything, from God saying “Let there be light” in the book of Genesis, to the story of the Resurrection in the New Testament, I felt a sense of completion and knowing. As time went on, I began exploring other texts. I have a congenital, non-lethal form of muscular dystrophy
Introduction As our world expands through the growing abilities and applications of computers in our everyday lives, it seems that the role of the computer has been reversed. Before we knew that the computer only understood what we programmed it to understand; however, now the majority of our society is learning more from computers than they are able to input into it. Dumm (1986 p.69) History "The human aspiration to create intelligent machines has appeared in myth and literature for thousands
Prologue: A massive virtual reality world called the OASIS is created by James Halliday and Ogden Morrow. When James Halliday dies, it is revealed that he hid an easter egg in the game that would give the person who found it control over the OASIS. To find the easter egg, one must find the copper, jade and crystal key and the corresponding gates and also know lots about 80s pop culture. Chapter 1: We are introduced to Wade Watts, he lives in the stacks (trailers stacked on top of each other) , where
One In The Same Grendel and the fiend in Frankenstein are characters from two different stories. Even though they entered the world in different ways, they can be seen as being the same character because of the amount of qualities they share like: showing interest in art, living their life as outsiders, and growing up innocent then turning into the true monsters they are. Grendel is an intelligent monster who is capable of being just as human as anyone else in John Gardner’s novel. Aside from
Harakiri “Every day I just think that I need to stop,” ah, yes, I apologize, I had forgotten. Since his explicit support for the PT party in the last elections, one cannot quote the wonderful Brazilian composer Chico Buarque anymore, he’s no longer considered politically correct. I even thought about entitling this chronicle “2014: the Year in Which Chico Buarque was Banned,” but I feared I would be criticized for some poorly explained historical backlash, oh, well, this was years ago, during the
plan, the individual leader has only presumptions and theory to guide his decision. With the use of simulation, the organization can test differing strategies and they can reduce the chance of a bad outcome. The text begins by examining a series of wargames developed for the military and the federal government to determine the best options for growing problems around the world (Mark Herman). Additionally, the ground work is placed to outline the goals which are expected by the client. The developers
point, but Ender, so the A.I. creates a story for him to follow, without knowing that the information is being supplied by the aliens via an instantaneous communication device called the Ansible (created by Ursula K. Le Guin). The control via the wargames shapes Ender into a formidable foe towards anyone who opposes him - he is placed in the hardest unit to train with and eventually given command of new recruits and dropouts to act as his own unit when he is promoted. He uses anything available to
Soldier What words do you think of when you hear the word, “soldier”? You may think: Military. Fighter.Warrior. Brave. But do you think of the word “children”? In Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, children are recruited by the government to become soldiers in the war against the buggers; aliens who invaded Earth twice and threatened the existence of the human race. One child in specific, Ender, was chosen as a potential commander. We don 't realize, but the best military forces in history were
He would play games all by his lonesome, exploring his “far-flung underground world in an endless wargame of leaps onto nothing, ingenious twists into freedom or new perplexity” (pg.15), all while whispering plottings into the ears of his invisible play mates. The only other actual beings with him in his confined world were his mother and the “large old

Evolution of War Driving War driving initially originated from the term war dialing a technique that was popularized by the character in the movie ‘WarGames’. War driving emerged as the practice of moving around in a vehicle and hunting wireless access points with weak security. Years later, it is still practiced on a large scale however the difference is that now it has became easier to exploit (even
Frederick II of Prussia, commonly known as Frederick the Great, ruled Prussia from 1740 until his death in 1786. He led Prussia through multiple wars, most notably the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. His greatest, and perhaps most debated, accomplishment involved the annexation of Silesia in 1740 and the three subsequent wars that followed it. His campaigns brought about the ascendance of Prussia from a second rate German principality to a major continental power. His command
A Snapshot of Computer Hacking Computer hacking has been around for over fifty years. Anytime new technology comes to the fore front, there are individuals who want to expand upon it. Hacking in general terms, is simply taking a technology and trying to improve upon it without the permission of the owner. I want to point out two terms that I will use throughout the paper, hacker and cracker. A hacker is a person who has extensive computer knowledge and enjoys tackling technical
Carl Von Clausewitz’s work in On War, remains just as relevant in modern day military strategy as it was in the past. His main points, on differences between absolute war and real war, and how war is a continuation of policy controlled by the “trinity”, will help any military or political leader avoid pitfalls when planning for today’s challenges. The theory of absolute war can aid military and political leaders understand the basic concepts of war, and their applicability in war gaming and creating

on who is the person behind the handle. Some sysops make the information public, or give the option to the user, or don't collect the information at all. The Internet brings forth many new concerns regarding crime and computers. With movies like Wargames, and more recently Hackers, becoming popular, computer crime is being blown out of proportion. "The word Hacker conjures up a vivid image in the popular media." (Cavazos 105) There are many types of computer crime that fall under the umbrella of
Hacker subculture[1] is heavily dependent on technology. It has produced its own slang and various forms of unusual alphabet use, for example l33tspeak. Such things are usually seen as an especially silly aspect by the academic hacker subculture.[citation needed] In part due to this, the slangs of the two subcultures differ substantially.[citation needed] Political attitude usually includes views for freedom of information, freedom of speech, a right for anonymity and most have a strong opposition
