SCOPE
Within academia, government, and industry, strategic planning of personnel and resources uses a variety of tools to model, forecast, and investigate institutional behaviour to gain insight into the implications of policy decisions over the short- or long-horizon. The purpose of this special session is to bring together the community of military analysts and planners to share knowledge, methods, techniques, and lessons learned in understanding the fundamentals of military systems from mathematical principles to problem solving complex systems. The scope spans from the theoretical to practical application.
