War Game and Simulation: Issues of the Complexity and Consideration
Yang Jing-yu · Acta Simulata Systematica Sinica · 2003
As a war system is a typical complex giant system, war game and simulation has to face lots of difficult issues. In this paper, new requirements of war game and simulation in information age are analyzed first. Then basic issues in war game and simulation, such as problem decomposition and resolving, model granularity, model aggregation and dis-aggregation, entities effectiveness and attrition computing, computing complexity, etc, are discussed. The main reasons of war game and simulation complexity are explained, such as parameter uncertainty, system adaptability, and hierarchy emergence. At last, some issues that need to pay special attention in the process of war game and simulation are presented.
