Description
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.

Editors in cognitive systems engineering, human-machine interaction, and behavioral science (and associated with MIT, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins U.) present this report from the National Research Council on human behavioral modeling particularly for military goals, commissioned by US Air Force. The contributors bring together the best of the literature reviewed to discuss topics that include: how organizational modeling can help military missions, verbal, conceptual, and cultural models; meso-, macro- and micro-level formal models, and modeling through games.
