Abstract:
A computational model of Standing Joint Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) processes was developed using EXTEND simulation software. In this paper we describe the use of this modeling and simulation approach for analyzing time-critical information systems and performing trade studies. An object-oriented model was constructed of the processes performed by SJFHQ members and simulations were run to obtain system measures of performance. This model focuses on the planning processes performed by SJFHQ members to support the Effects-Based Planning processes and the Operational Net Assessment update. A complete four-level architecture was developed that captures all processes, sub-processes, information flows, and personnel task assignments. It includes detailed architectures and was based on US Joint Forces Combined publications and subject-matter expertise.
