Operations Analysis Support to Network Centric Operations

Booz Allen Hamilton, McLean Virginia
27-29 January 2004

Dear Colleague,

Many organizations are interested and involved in employing and analyzing Network Centric Operations (NCO).  The analytic community needs to support the military services with assessments as Network Centric Operations is being developed.  The community should play a leadership role in creating/refining these needed metrics, processes, methodologies, models and simulations.  The community should share efforts, successes and failures in the key capabilities.

Using previous examples of operations analysis applications to Network Centric Operations, the goal of this meeting is to bring a multi-disciplined team of analysts, operators and engineers together to share their work, develop a common view of the state of the practice, expose members of the broader analytic community to their needs, identify shortfalls and potential solutions.  To discuss these issues, MORS will hold a mini-symposium/workshop on Operations Analysis to Support Network Centric Operations.  The overall objectives of this special meeting will be to provide an assessment and roadmap to revitalize the state of the analytical practice and to recommend priorities for any initiatives. For further discussion of the workshop, please read the enclosed Terms of Reference.
