Human, Social and Culture Behavior (HSCB) Modeling Applied Research
Abstract
The HSCB Modeling Program is a vertically integrated effort to research, develop, and transition technologies, tools, and systems to programs of record and users in need. Under three integrated PEs, the Program will conduct applied research (6.2), which will then be matured and demonstrated (6.3), and the results then tested and transitioned (6.4). This HSCB line item is focused on applied research, developing an applied science base and general-use, cross-domain capabilities/tools to support the HSCB application domains of analysis, operational planning, training, and operations experimentation (wargaming). The work will focus on computational/analytical socio-cultural data collection, theory development, and application methodologies and tools. It will create software tools that will help intelligence analysts, operations analysts, operations planners, and wargamers represent, understand, and forecast socio-cultural behavior at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. It will provide: data infrastructure/frameworks that will facilitate subsequent model development and validation; human behavior based theory for DoD-relevant models; visualization infrastructures to rapidly assess the human terrain at strategic to tactical levels; and situation-relevant education and training tools for disparate user communities. Database Infrastructure/Framework will facilitate subsequent model development and validation. Human behavior based theory for DoD-relevant models will support development of software to help decision makers represent, understand, and forecast socio-cultural behavior at the strategic, tactical and operational levels. Visualization Infrastructure will support rapid assessment of the human terrain at strategic to tactical levels. Situation-relevant education and training tools will focus on computational/analytical socio-cultural data collection, theory development, and application methodologies and tools.
