A Digital Simulation Model of Message Handling in the Tactical Operations System. 1. The Model, Its Sensitivity and User's Manual

Abstract

The results of research into implementation of a quantitative model of human performance in information systems are presented. The principal efforts were to: (1) define the most influential psychosocial variables inherent in the mission of interests, (2) incorporate these into a logic for a digital simulation model, and (3) develop a computer program reflecting this model. The Tactical Operations System (TOS) for which the model was developed is described, and model features involving predictive capability and system effectiveness measurements are presented. The results of a series of model sensitivity tests under a variety of parametric input conditions are reported.
