In this article, we describe simulation-based decision support techniques for evaluation of operational plans within effects-based planning. Using a decision support tool, developers of operational plans are able to evaluate thousands of alternative plans against possible courses of events and...

We model macro-level external environmental impacts of costs, prices and rainfall through a set of flexible power functions. The...
