Analytical and Conceptual Frameworks for Automated Scenario Generation: Application to Tactical Theater Air Warfare.  This article present frameworks for tactical theater air warfare, but the material is general and can be applied to other warfare contexts.  These concepts were applied, for example, in the development of an automated scenario generation system (the Vista Scenarist) for non-communications electronic warfare systems.  (Material written in 1989.)

Theater Tactical Air Warfare Methodologies: Automated Scenario Generation (July 21, 1989).   This is a copy of the report from which the preceding article was extracted.  The project for which this is the final report is an example of the application of Hugh Everett's Generalized Lagrange Multiplier (GLM) method to solve a resource-constrained two-person zero-sum game.

Scenarist summary: Caldwell, J. G., "Scenarist Automated Scenario Generation System," article accepted for publication (but not published because of inability to contact author for final approval) in SIGNAL Magazine (official publication of the Armed Forces Communications-Electronics Association), 1992.

Here is a copy of some of the documents produced by the Scenarist development project.  The original project documentation was produced using WordPerfect 4.2, and these versions, converted to Microsoft Word, have some issues (formatting, lack of graphics, missing appendices).

Fast Algorithms: This is a copy of a report, Improved Algorithms for Estimation, Prediction and Control.  It was originally produced using WordPerfect 4.2, and this version, converted to Microsoft Word, has some formatting issues (e.g., underscoring, subscripting).

Artificial Intelligence and Modeling and Simulation: Paper presented to the Eleventh Annual Technical Seminar, Arizona Chapter of Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA), Sierra Vista, Arizona, March 9-10, 1988.

Computer Program for Tracking Aircraft Using Temporal Projections.  This program is a tool for evaluating the methodology of tracking moving vehicles using the method of temporal projections. The program is currently configured to track aircraft. The program simulates radar scans of moving vehicles in a specified region, and estimates tracks from the simulated data. The purpose of the program is to assess the quality of alternative tracking algorithms.
