Modeling for Campaign Analysis: Lessons for the Next Generation of Models: Executive Summary http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR710.html 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z The U.S. military's increasing use of computer modeling has clear benefits, among them the ability to better inform decisionmakers and reduced exercise costs. Quality in policy modeling http://www.rand.org/pubs/papers/P7640.html 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z 1991-01-01T00:00:00Z This paper is a first step in rethinking the ways in which organizations carry out mathematical modeling and policy analysis. Presenting a paradigm for analyzing policy research environments, the authors graphically depict ways modeling efforts inter... A Conceptual Design for the Model Integration and Management System http://www.rand.org/pubs/notes/N2645.html 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z The Model Integration and Management System (MIMS) is a structured modeling framework designed to simplify the installation or creation of models within a common environment as part of RAND's Military Operations Simulation Facility (MOSF). The RAND Military Operations Simulation Facility: An Overview http://www.rand.org/pubs/notes/N2428.html 1986-01-01T00:00:00Z 1986-01-01T00:00:00Z Provides an overview of the features of the MOSF for users of the facility and for those who are interested in the Military Operations Simulation Facility (MOSF)'s general capabilities. Managing Cost and Capacity Data in the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB125-1.html 2006-12-04T16:55:00Z 2006-12-04T16:55:00Z This research brief suggests measures to improve the flow and usage of cost and capacity data in the Air Force's technical training programs. The Cost of Producing New Airmen Can Be Reduced with a Better Mixture of On-the-Job Training and Schoolhouse Courses http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB229.html 2007-04-08T22:24:00Z 2007-04-08T22:24:00Z This research brief examines the balance between schoolhouse courses and on-the-job training in the Air Force and suggests that a better mixture could be more cost-effective at producing new airmen.
