Summary
"Behavioral Modeling and Simulation describes and assesses research efforts now underway to answer questions, using fundamental behavioral and social science knowledge and evolving modeling methods. It provides recommendations for conducting the needed research and bringing disparate disciplines together. It offers advice on how the U.S. government can best support the development and practical use of this research, both to understand our adversaries and to design and deploy effective organizations to deal with them."--BOOK JACKET.
