DORS Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\t\t\tD1. Mathematical Modelling of Defence Systems and Operations<\/p>\n

Chairs: Stephen Bocquet, Paul Chircop<\/em><\/p>\n

This session seeks papers on the development and application of mathematical and statistical models to Defence systems, including platforms, sensors, weapons, personnel, networks and military units, as well as the modelling and analysis of Defence operations and the operating environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\t\t\tD2. Data Analytics for Defence Analysis<\/p>\n

Chairs: Tom Keevers, Andrew Gill<\/em><\/p>\n

Data Analytics for Defence <\/strong>covers the development or application of advanced statistical or mathematical methods for the purpose of generating data-driven knowledge discovery concerning Defence capabilities or security operations. It includes supervised, unsupervised, and active learning methods applied to structured or unstructured data sets from military systems, personnel, operations or simulations. This session welcomes either theoretical or applied contributions consistent with this theme.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\t\t\tD3. Advances in Experimentation and Wargaming<\/p>\n

Chair(s): Niem Tri<\/em><\/p>\n

Experimentation and wargaming is concerned with understanding and testing ideas on how to train, structure, equip and employ the military force. It is also about reducing risk and gaining insights into military operations. Done well, the rigorous examination of ideas is cost-effective and powerful because the methods are grounded on principles of experimental science. Further, it is one of the best ways to collect evidence and support Defence procurement by meeting the conditions of transparency, contestability and accountability. We seek papers for this session that will explore the advances in application and theory of this exciting field.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tD4. Machine Learning\/Machine Discovered Behaviours<\/p>\n

Chair(s):\u00a0David Cox<\/em><\/p>\n

\t\t\tD5. Force Design Analysis<\/p>\n

Chair(s):\u00a0Ren\u00e9e Kidson<\/em><\/p>\n

\t\t\tD6. Transdisciplinary Approaches to Modelling Unknowns<\/p>\n

Chair(s):\u00a0David Matthews, Darryn Reid<\/em><\/p>\n

\t\t\tD7. Combat Enablers<\/p>\n

Chair(s): David Marlow<\/em><\/p>\n

This session seeks submissions that focus on modelling the capabilities that underpin and enable the successful prosecution of combat missions in a warfighting context.\u00a0 These include, but are not limited to, sustainment (such as fleet scheduling and management, personnel training, logistics and supply chains) and supporting operations (such as aircraft or personnel availability).<\/p>\n

\t\t\tD8. Understanding the Information Environment in the Context of Defence Operations<\/p>\n

Chair(s):\u00a0Lucia Falzon, Alexei Filinkov<\/em><\/p>\n

The Defence operational environment is fundamentally changing, trending to new types of warfare, resulting in new challenges for operations research. Security and stability depend on understanding the fundamental shifts in the operating environment on multiple levels, from the global and strategic down to the individual. Key factors and their impact at each level are especially important to understand:<\/p>\n
