The CAEn Building Editor Tool, or Builder, simplifies this process by providing and efficient graphical interface to edit CAEn buildings. The use of Builder can greatly speed up the production of urban environments within CAEn. |

| The Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation(SM) (OCTAVE(Trademark)) approach defines a risk-based strategic assessment and planning technique for security. OCTAVE is a self-directed approach, meaning that people from an organization assume responsibility for setting the organization's security strategy. OCTAVE-S is a variation of the approach tailored to the limited means and unique constraints typically found in small organizations (less than 100 people). OCTAVE-S is led by a small, interdisciplinary ... |

| Many simulation practitioners can get more from their analyses by using the statistical theory on design of experiments (DOE) developed specifically for exploring computer models. We discuss a toolkit of designs for simulators with limited DOE expertise who want to select a design and an appropriate analysis for their experiments. Furthermore, we provide a research agenda listing problems in the design of simulation experiments--as opposed to real-world experiments--that require more ... |
