|
 | The notion of Thought Warfare and Anti-Warfare (TWAW) is introduced as a way of thinking about military conflict and its avoidance; it is foreseen as an increasingly important Defence issue in the twenty-first century. TWAW involves the dynamic interaction of allies' and adversaries' Thought Systems. Current Thought Systems involve entities capable of cognition, emotion and volition - typically (groups of) people - interacting via networks ... |

|
| The notion of Thought Warfare and Anti-Warfare (TWAW) has been introduced in earlier work as a way of thinking about future military conflict and its avoidance. TWAW involves the dynamic interaction of allies' and adversaries' Thought Systems. Current Thought Systems involve entities capable of cognition, emotion and volition - typically (groups of) people - interacting via networks of information and data systems. This paper summarizes ... |

|
| The report notes that a socio-cultural phenomenon has occurred in the Defense community whereby it is has become commonplace for the assumption to be made that success in various types of modem warfare will be assured if Information Superiority can be achieved. It presents outline arguments that suggest that this assumption is fallacious. It concludes that: Success in Network Centric Warfare requires Knowledge Superiority and benefits ... |

| Authors:
Gina Kingston; Martin Burke; DEFENCE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION CANBERRA (AUSTRALIA)
|
| This paper describes a two-phase approach to Software Costing which has been proposed by the iMAPS Software Costing Research team. The proposed approach consists of obtaining an initial, rough, estimate of the Cost of the system during the first phase. During the second phase the estimate is refined throughout the development of the system as more information becomes available. |

|
| A variety of Software Sizing approaches have been conjectured in the literature. While many of these approaches have been used for Software Cost Estimation, none were specifically designed for Software Costing. This paper reviews current methods of Software Sizing to determine their suitability for Software Cost Estimation. The approach differs from previous approaches in that it is based on a framework of evaluation criteria including Measurement Theoretic as well as ... |
