Design of Training Systems (DOTS) Project: Test and Evaluation of Phase II Models

Abstract

An Advanced Developmental Project titled, Design of Training Systems (DOTS), has attempted to demonstrate the feasibility of applying new decision making technologies, based upon the behavioral and management sciences, to the management of training in the Navy. Several phototype applications were developed using mathematical modeling approaches. It was necessary to independently ascertain whether feasibility had in fact been demonstrated through the prototypes thus far developed. A test and evaluation was undertaken in order to determine the technical, operational, and financial feasibility of the prototypes as well as of the broader applications of the technologies in question throughout the Navy Education and Training community. Through documentation of the preliminary system analysis, model development, and model validation was provided for technical review. The model formulations were analyzed for theoretical soundness, sensitivity to the problem, and validity of problem representation. The models were determined to be technically sound overall.
