He served as the director of the TRADOC Analysis Center‐Monterey, supervising the creation of advanced simulation techniques and models, to include leading the Land Warrior Training Initiative project that converted a COTS first‐person shooter (Delta Force 2) into a training simulation for the US Army’s Land Warrior program. He served at the TRADOC Analysis Center‐WSMR, supervising the use of the combat simulation CASTFOREM and the human‐in‐the‐loop simulation JANUS for the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), earning his second Wilbur Payne Award. He served at TRAC‐FLVN, where he continued supervising FCS AoA update analyses using Vector‐In‐Command (VIC) at FLVN and CASTFOREM and JANUS at WSMR. He then finished his army career as the deputy to the TRAC director where he was one of the lead architects of the TRAC Irregular Warfare Tactical Wargame, earning the 2011 Army Modeling and Simulation Team Award (Analysis). He has been a senior lecturer in the NPS Operations Research Faculty since 2009. He teaches the Wargaming Applications, Combat Modeling, and Advanced Wargaming Applications resident courses at NPS. He also teaches week‐long Basic Analytic Wargaming Mobile Education Team (MET) courses for US and international sponsors around the world. In 2016, he earned the Richard W. Hamming Faculty Award for Interdisciplinary Achievement. Along with Dr. Rob Burks, Jeff directs the activities of the NPS Wargaming Activity Hub.

He holds a siv. ing. degree in engineering cybernetics from the Norwegian Institute of Technology, Trondheim, Norway. His research interests include modeling and simulation methods applied in support of training, operations, systems engineering, and concept development and experimentation. He has published more than 100 journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, and scientific‐technical reports. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Society for Modeling and Simulation (SCS) and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).

      Paul K. Davis is a retired principal researcher at RAND (still active as an adjunct) and a professor in the Pardee RAND Graduate School. His research has included strategic planning (particularly defense planning), strategy, deterrence theory, arms control, and advanced methods of modeling and analysis, notably multiresolution modeling, pioneering work on exploratory analysis under uncertainty, and semi‐qualitative methods of modeling social‐behavioral phenomena such as terrorism and insurgency, and heterogeneous information fusion. Dr. Davis received a BS in chemistry from the University of Michigan and a PhD in theoretical chemical physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has worked at the Institute for Defense Analyses, the State Department, the Department of Defense (as a senior executive), and – since 1981 – for the RAND Corporation. He reviews for or is associate editor of multiple scholarly journals and has served on numerous national panels.

      Armin Fügenschuh is full professor for engineering mathematics and numerics of optimization at the Brandenburg University of Technology in Cottbus (BTU). He studied mathematics from 1995 to 2000 in Oldenburg, Germany, and at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. In 2000, he became a research associate at the Darmstadt University of Technology where he received a doctorate degree in 2005. After that he held postdoc positions in Darmstadt, Berlin, Atlanta (Georgia, USA), and Erlangen. Between 2013 and 2017 he was an associate professor at the Helmut Schmidt University/University of the Federal Armed Forces (HSU) in Hamburg. His main research interests are linear and nonlinear mixed‐integer programming and their applications, with a focus on operations research problems from engineering, transportation, and logistics. His further interest is in wargaming. He gave several courses at the HSU on board game conflict simulations as well as computer‐based conflict simulation tools. He is a member of several academic societies (GOR, SIAM, DMV, EMS, VDI). His work was awarded with several academic prizes, such as the EURO Excellence in Practice Award (2016) or a Dissertation Award of the German OR Society.

Richard Haberlin is a senior principal computer scientist and chief engineer of the Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation and Analysis Technical Center at The MITRE Corporation in McLean, VA. He holds a PhD and MS in operations research from George Mason University and a BS in ocean engineering from the US Naval Academy. His research interests include inferential reasoning and decision support aided through interactive visualization. He is also evaluating application of reusable frameworks with combat simulations to support rapid integration of multiple algorithmic solutions including mixed‐integer linear programming and artificial intelligence. He leverages 20 years of navy operational and staff experience to produce tailored, relevant, and defensible analyses informing executive‐level decisions across a wide breadth of government organizations. He serves on the editorial board of ASCE Infrastructure Systems and holds membership with the MITRE Veteran’s Council and the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).

      Dean S. Hartley III is the principal of Hartley Consulting. Previously he was a senior member of the Research Staff at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
