Synopsis
Excerpt from Utility and Use of Large-Scale Mathematical Models: Proceedings of a Workshop Held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, April 28-29, 1977
Workshop on the Utility and Use of Large - Scale Mathematical Models held the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland (april 28 - 29, was a first for its purpose to examine the problem of how to improve use and utility of large - scale mathematical models in the Federal Govern t. The Workshop speakers addressed specific problem areas, including present status of model use in dod and non - dod applications, issues ing developers, problems of model implementation, transfer and develop t in the energy field, model assessment and evaluation, use in policy lysis, comparison of models, management of the modeling process, model fiware and documentation, and guidelines, standards and management improve e activities. This Proceedings volume presents the papers and much of discussion that took place at the Workshop, along with a summary of eetions for needed research.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of large-scale mathematical models, exploring their development, implementation, and use, particularly within the context of the United States government. The author draws on extensive research, including a survey of models used by the Department of Defense, to highlight the critical importance of communication and documentation in ensuring the effective use of these powerful tools. The book examines the historical context of modeling, recognizing the challenges of coordinating efforts across various institutions, including those within the government, universities, and private research organizations. The author emphasizes the need for professional standards and scrutiny, arguing that models should not be treated as mere hobbies but rather as vital tools requiring careful analysis and evaluation. The book goes beyond simply describing the technical aspects of modeling, offering insightful commentary on the potential for misuse and the importance of transparency. It raises important questions about the role of models in decision-making, particularly in sensitive areas such as defense policy. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to consider the broader implications of large-scale models and the need for a more rigorous and collaborative approach to their development and implementation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
