Abstract:

The Agent based modeling and simulation (ABMS) paradigm provides great advantage for military operational research, especial for network centric war (NCW) operational research. According to requirements for system of systems (SOS) effectiveness evaluation for operational research in information age, the reusable SOS model framework should be developed through common operation concept framework. Many SOS effectiveness evaluation analysis can be supported by repaid composition of operational Agent model for different SOS effectiveness evaluation requirements. Based on ABMS model development process, a composable SOS simulation model framework is proposed by abstraction of physical, 〖JP2〗information, cognitive and organization domains in common operational concept framework. Researchers for SOS effectiveness evaluation can define and compose different operational Agent model components rapidly, carry out experiments for different SOS contexts.
