Infochess: A Powerful Test Bed for Studying Information Operations (IO) Decision-Making
William C. Elm, James W. Gualtieri, Scott S. Potter · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 2002
Participants will receive an introduction into the domain of Information Operations (IO) and asymmetric warfare. This interactive session will use InfoChess ™ to provide experiential learning in IO and explore decision-making. By integrating IO in the rich, yet well understood game of chess, the trainee's understanding of the synergistic effects of IO and maneuver warfare is internalized to a degree not shown with traditional instruction. The audience will then be asked to collectively work together, against an asymmetrically adversary. During the course of this session, observations will be collected on the decision-making activities of the participants.
