Abstract

As the fielding of enterprise systems of systems becomes common it becomes increasingly important to understand the interactions between the systems as well as the important role that human behavior plays. This paper suggests that Agent-Directed Simulation is a valuable and crucial analysis tool for the Systems Engineer. The paper examines the concept of Agent-Directed Simulation for Systems Engineering and then introduces the notion of Human Complex Systems. An analysis infrastructure is described and a case study is provided to illustrate the concepts.
