A Framework for Building and Reasoning with Adaptive and Interoperable PMESII Models
Abstract
A framework for the development and integration of Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, and Infrastructure (PMESII) models in support of a Commander's Predictive Environment (CPE) was investigated and developed. Key challenges were allowing analysts to share their models, interconnect their models, and explore the relationships between elements in a network of integrated models. Areas explored included how to translate between different interfaces, ontologies, sub-domains, and formalisms, e.g., Bayesian networks or causal diagrams for representing and executing or simulating models. Modeling paradigms investigated included, causal graphical models, stability and reconstruction operations models (SROM), concept graphs, concept maps, and various tools for building neural network models and production rules. Also included are results of investigations, recommendations for resolving model incompatibilities, methods for reasoning with heterogeneous networks of models, and a system design specification.
