Reviews
"I consider this book to be a must-have reference. As a career operations research analyst, it is a real practitioner's guide to unconventional conflict. Even more importantly, an analyst can find important information in this book for any sub-element required of unconventional modeling. ... This book stands as an excellent example of the complexities in unconventional conflict." (William P. Fox, Interfaces, Vol. 47 (5), October, 2017)

Synopsis
This book describes issues in modeling unconventional conflict and suggests a new way to do the modeling. It presents an ontology that describes the unconventional conflict domain, which allows for greater ease in modeling unconventional conflict. Supporting holistic modeling, which means that we can see the entire picture of what needs to be modeled, the ontology allows us to make informed decisions about what to model and what to omit. The unconventional conflict ontology also separates the things we understand best from the things we understand least. This separation means that we can perform verification, validation and accreditation (VV&A) more efficiently and can describe the competence of the model more accurately.However, before this message can be presented in its entirety the supporting body of knowledge has to be explored. For this reason, the book offers chapters that focus on the description of unconventional conflict and the analyses that have beenperformed, modeling, with a concentration on past efforts at modeling unconventional conflict, the precursors to the ontology, and VV&A. Unconventional conflict is a complex, messy thing. It normally involves multiple actors, with their own conflicting agendas and differing concepts of legitimate actions. This book will present a useful introduction for researchers and professionals within the field.

- s***j (1273)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseG.D. Pickering's books are one of those that you can't put down until you finish it! Lots of accounts from readers about their OWN encounters. These books are addicting, so if you're like me, and cannot wait until another one ships, I suggest buy a few at a time then, a few more, etc.... If you're undecided, buy just 1. You won't regret it
