COMPUTER ASSISTED EXERCISES AND TRAINING: A REFERENCE GUIDECAYIRCI E. MARINCIC D.wydawnictwo: WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009, wydanie Icena netto: A comprehensive guide to computer assisted exercises Readers can turn to this indispensable reference guide for comprehensive and lucid coverage of the operational, technical, and organizational knowledge needed to harness successful and constructive computer assisted exercises (CAX) and war games. It is geared also toward large civilian organizations that are looking to teach and test their strategies and procedures without the added cost of manpower. Divided into two clear parts, the book covers:
Computer Assisted Exercises and Training: A Reference Guide is indispensable reading for research engineers, computer scientists, software engineers working with modeling and simulation, homeland security specialists, staff in simulation training centers, military strategists and commanders, and many others. It also serves as a valuable textbook for modeling and simulation courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. Erdal Çayirci, Chief CAX Support Branch, NATO Joint Warfare Center, Norway, retired from the army as colonel in 2005. His research interests include military construction simulation sensor networks, mobile communications, and tactical communications. He was an editor for IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and the journals Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless Networks. Dušan Marinčič is Subject Matter Expert, NATO Joint Warfare Center, Norway. His areas of interest have been the dynamics of a global security environment, multivariate analysis of societal security dimensions in the area of complex emergencies, and computer simulation modeling of peace operations.
