Low intensity conflicts modeling framework based on dynamic hierarchical structure DEVS approach
Article No.: 38, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
Low intensity conflicts (LIC) become crucial in military operations. They are situations where contending groups are involved in a confrontation below the level of conventional war. To protect minorities and maintain or restore an acceptable level of peace a military force can be employed. Such a system is principally characterised by the importance of the interactions between and within factions. Salient properties of these interactions are their asymmetry, their effects at different scales and their dynamic nature. The multi-agent paradigm and the dynamic structure system are particularly suitable ways to represent a system with such characteristics. This paper proposes a Discrete EVents Specification (DEVS) of autonomous agents and uses a related dynamic hierarchical structure approach to enable more realistic training of military personnel and scenario analysis.
