A Guide to Network Construction and Utilization.
Abstract
The FORECAST 90 contract effort was designed to test a concept originated by the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) for linking long-range planning requirements to forecasting techniques. The heart of the approach lies in combining trend projection techniques and conflict analysis techniques into a networking system in order to make the risks and opportunities inherent in various decision alternatives visible to the decision-maker. This contract phase focused on two aspects of the overall FORECAST 90 effort: (1) methodological development of a system capable of producing and integrating a variety of plausible futures and displaying them in a form readily understandable and usable to Army planners, and (2) demonstration of the utility of that system by producing an initial set of futures, integrating them, and demonstrating a computer-based system for storing, retrieving, and monitoring the forecasting system.
