Tools and techniques for developing policies for complex and uncertain systems (2002)
Steven C. Bankes, Senior Computer Scientist
Abstract: Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) can be characterized as those systems for which no model less complex than the system itself can accurately predict in detail how the system will behave at...
Davis, Paul K., Bankes, Steven C., Weissler, Robert
The authors and colleagues have recently developed a large and complex knowledge-based simulation that includes political-military decision models, each with thousands of qualitative rules. As part...
