Project BackgroundProject Background
JFCOM J-7, in support of a Congressional mandate, is sponsoring a multi-agency, multi-contract team intent on better understanding and improving the state-of-the-art in modeling and simulation support for homeland security training, research and experimentation.Effort spans a broad area of interest:
Conceptual modeling Simulation InvestmentsExercise data collection and analysis to inform modeling and simulation effort
Project ContextProject Context
Conceptual Model is attempting to be true to National Response Plan (NRP)NRP was approved November 2004Modeling efforts pre date approval of the NRPNRP is a living document

Observations and ConclusionsObservations and Conclusions
Evolving model represents:Highly complex and dynamic processEmergency response as dictated through the NRP
Current limitations:Informal interactions are not representedRegional specialization may not be represented
Research IssuesResearch IssuesModeling Issues
Logical representation of multilayered and multidirectional dataRegional specificity vs. generalized usability
Application IssuesCapturing tacit knowledge & informal information exchangesAssembling elements from a variety of resources, which do not necessarily agreeModeling is a discovery process
