10th International Command and Control Research and Technology SymposiumRepresenting Homeland SecurityCommand and Control:Conceptual Modeling in Support ofthe National Response PlanAmber L. FaganHeather L. WarrenEvidence Based Research, Inc.June 2005
Overview Project OverviewThe Conceptual ModelData Collection EffortsObservations & Conclusions
Project Background JFCOM J-7, in support of a Congressional mandate,is sponsoring a multi-agency, multi-contract teamintent on better understanding and improving thestate-of-the-art in modeling and simulation supportfor homeland security training, research andexperimentation.Effort spans a broad area of interest: Conceptual modeling Simulation Investments Exercise data collection and analysis to informmodeling and simulation effort
Project Context Conceptual Model is attempting to be true toNational Response Plan (NRP)NRP was approved November 2004Modeling efforts pre date approval of the NRPNRP is a living document

Observations and Conclusions Evolving model represents: Highly complex and dynamic process Emergency response as dictated throughthe NRPCurrent limitations: Informal interactions are not represented Regional specialization may not berepresented
Research Issues Modeling Issues Logical representation of multilayered andmultidirectional data Regional specificity vs. generalized usabilityApplication Issues Capturing tacit knowledge & informal informationexchanges Assembling elements from a variety of resources,which do not necessarily agree Modeling is a discovery process
