Description:

This book is divided into two main sections: Foundations and Advanced Topics. The Foundations  section has been entirely written by Andreas Tolk in an effort to ensure a consistent and comprehensive overview of relevant topics and recommended practices.  The book begins with an introduction, which addresses general principles, and key historical notes, methods, and terms are introduced and defined.   Readers are provided with a framework to use to cope with the multiple facets that make up engineering principles of combat modeling and distributed simulation.  The book moves on to discuss questions surrounding combat modeling and addresses the conceptualization and model development for the…
