Team 6: Utility of Distillation Modeling for Countering IEDs
from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 7 Workshop 19This Team participated in an ongoing study to examine the
utility of distillation modeling in the Counter-IED
(Improvised Explosive Devices) fight. In
September, as part of that study, an Agent-Based
Modeling workshop examining hard questions in
the Counter-IED battle identified a set of problems
that can be addressed by agent-based models and
related methods such as data farming. The
questions covered C-IED needs in various
categories including: insurgent network evolution
and adaptation; red-teaming and technical gaming;
C-IED initiative assessment; and recidivism. This
team reviewed the output from the September
workshop on agent-based modeling, extracted
problems that can feasibly be addressed in a rapid
prototyping process, and began to design a
software experiment that will address a selected
problem
