Abstract:

Flexibility is the keyword when preparing for the uncertainfuture tasks for the civilian and military defence. Supporttools relying on general principles will greatlyfacilitateflexible co-ordination and co-operation between differentcivilian and military organizations, and also between differentcommand levels. Further motivations for general solutionsinclude reduced costs for technical development and training,as well as faster and more informed decisionmaking. Mosttechnical systems that support military activities are howeverdesigned with specific work tasks in mind, and are consequentlyrather inflexible. There are large differences between forinstance fire fighting, disaster relief, calculating missiletrajectories, and navigating large battle-ships. Still, thereought to be much in common in the work of managing thesevarious tasks. We use the termCommand and Control(C2) to capture these commonfeatures in management of civilian and military, rescue anddefence operations.

Consequently, this thesis describes a top-down approach tosupport systems for decision-making in the context of C2, as acomplement to the prevailing bottom-up approaches. DISCCO(Decision Support for Command and Control) is a set ofnetwork-based services includingCommand Supporthelping commanders in the human,cooperative and continuous process of evolving, evaluating, andexecuting solutions to their tasks. The command tools providethe means to formulate and visualize tasks, plans, andassessments, but also the means to visualize decisions on thedynamic design of organization. Also included in DISCCO isDecision Support, which, based on AI and simulationtechniques, improve the human process by integrating automaticand semiautomatic generation and evaluation of plans. The toolsprovided by DISCCO interact with aCommon Situation Modelcapturing the recursive structureof the situation, including the status, the dynamicorganization, and the intentions, of own, allied, neutral, andhostile resources. Hence, DISCCOprovides a more comprehensivesituation description than has previously been possible toachieve.

DISCCO shows generic features since it is designed tosupport a decisionmaking process abstracted from the actualkinds and details of the tasks that are solved. Thus it will beuseful through all phases of the operation, through all commandlevels, and through all the different organizations andactivities that are involved.

Abstract:
In response to technological advances, especially in the field of information and communication technology (ICT), the so called revolution in military affairs (RMA) and later the concept of network-centric warfare (NCW) emerged as a theory to further utilize technology for military command and control (C2). Advocates of the Swedish ROLF 2010-vision and the concept of NCW have made claims and assumptions that future technology will improve mission effectiveness by, for example, increasing the understanding of a current situation and its development, the speed of command, and providing means to utilize more efficient forms of organizations. The scope of this thesis is to critically dissect and assess some of these claims and assumptions. Four papers are included: (1) An observational study involving military officers participating in a training session at the Swedish National Defence College’s command and control laboratory. (2) A study performed with a microworld is presented with a discussion considering using microworlds as a tool for investigating the effects of introducing characteristics of novel tech- nology. (3) An experimental study introducing a method to measure individual’s apprehension and assessed development of a situation. (4) Finally, an experiment is presented addressing assumptions of the efficiency of different C2 architectures and effects of graphical support for communication of intentions. The overall conclusion is that the strong benefits from implementing new technologies can be questioned. Results from the qualitative observations indicate that traditional working practices are used regardless introduction of technology with future characteristics. The results show that the strong positive effect that networked and technology enhanced C2 architecture was expected to have generally could not be demonstrated experimentally. However, it appeared that such a C2 architecture can provide some advantages of C2 performance over traditional counterparts under conditions of moderate complexity. Under situations of high complexity, neither the networked nor the traditional C2 architecture performed better than the control condition who lacked C2 capabilities.
Som svar på tekniska framsteg, särskilt inom fältet information och kommunikationsteknologi (IKT), uppstod den så kallade revolutionen i militära angelägenheter (RMA) och senare konceptet nätverksbaserad krigföring (NCW). Det senare har efterhand utvecklats till en teori om hur teknik kan utnyttjas för att effektivisera militär ledning. Bland förespråkare för nätverksbaserad krigföring har antaganden gjorts om hur genomförandet av framtida uppdrag kommer att kunna förbättras och effektiviseras med stöd av framtida teknik. Till exempel antas framtida teknologier kunna; öka förståelsen för en rådande situation och dess fortsatta utveckling, medge att tempot i vilket ledningen bedrivs kommer att kunna ökas samt medge att nya och mer effektiva organisationsformer kommer att kunna utnyttjas. Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling är att kritiskt analysera och bedöma några av de antaganden som gjorts inom ramen för den svenska ROLF 2010-visionen samt konceptet för nätverksbaserad krigföring. I avhandlingen ingår fyra artiklar. (1) En observationsstudie av en militär stabsövning genomförd i Försvarshögskolans ledningslaboratorium. (2) Resultatet från en studie där en mikrovärld använts som ett verktyg för att undersöka effekterna på ledning där egenskaper hos ny teknik införs. (3) En experimentell studie där en metod introduceras för att mäta olika individers förmåga att uppfatta och bedöma en situation och dess troliga utveckling. (4) Slutligen presenteras ett experiment som syftar till att utvärdera antaganden om olika ledningsarkitekturer och deras effektivitet samt effekter av grafiskt stöd för kommunikation. Den allmänna slutsatsen är att de antaganden som görs där starka fördelar skall kunna uppnås genom implementering av ny teknik kan ifrågasättas. Resultat från de kvalitativa observationerna indikerar att traditionella arbetsmetoder används trots att teknik med nya egenskaper har införts. Resultaten visar att de starka positiva effekter som nätverksbaserad och teknikstödd ledningsarkitektur förväntades ha generellt inte kunde påvisas experimentellt. Emellertid visade det sig att en sådan ledningsarkitektur kan ge vissa lednings- och prestandafördelar jämfört med traditionella motsvarigheter i situationer med måttligt förhöjd komplexitet. I situationer med kraftigt höjd komplexitet visade det sig att vare sig den nya eller den traditionella ledningsarkitekturen var effektivare än kontrollbetingelsen som saknade ledning.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the technology of the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and assess its value to strategic U.S. command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I). The author provides a brief overview of how telecommunications systems support the concept of C2 and what some of the problems are in this area. A review of the ISDN concept is provided which serves as the foundation for assessing the significance of ISDN to the military and its value in meeting the particular requirements associated with C3I telecommunication networks. Some of the more substantive issues of transitioning to ISDN are addressed such as network management and security. The author concludes that ISDN is an attractive long-term goal architecture. They are, however, several significant areas (applications, network management requirements, security architecture) that must be proactively addressed before ISDN is suitable for application in the C3I environment.

Abstract:
Researchers in military command and control (C2) have for several decades sought to help commanders by introducing automated, intelligent decision support systems. These systems are still not widely used, however, and some researchers argue that this may be due to those problems that are inherent in the relationship between the affordances of technology and the requirements by the specific contexts of work in military C2. In this thesis, we study some specific properties of three support techniques for analyzing and automating aspects of C2 scenarios that are relevant for the contexts of work in which they can be used. The research questions we address concern (1) which affordances and constraints of these technologies are of most relevance to C2, and (2) how these affordances and limitations can be managed to improve the utility of intelligent decision support systems in C2. The thesis comprises three case studies of C2 scenarios where intelligent support systems have been devised for each scenario. The first study considered two military planning scenarios: planning for medical evacuations and similar tactical operations. In the study, we argue that the plan production capabilities of automated planners may be of less use than their constraint management facilities. ComPlan, which was the main technical system studied in the first case study, consisted of a highly configurable, collaborative, constraint-management framework for planning in which constraints could be used either to enforce relationships or notify users of their validity during planning. As a partial result of the first study, we proposed three tentative design criteria for intelligent decision support: transparency, graceful regulation and event-based feedback. The second study was of information management during planning at the operational level, where we used a C2 training scenario from the Swedish Armed Forces and the documents produced during the scenario as a basis for studying properties of Semantic Desktops as intelligent decision support. In the study, we argue that (1) due to the simultaneous use of both documents and specialized systems, it is imperative that commanders can manage information from heterogeneous sources consistently, and (2) in the context of a structurally rich domain such as C2, documents can contain enough information about domain-specific concepts that occur in several applications to allow them to be automatically extracted from documents and managed in a unified manner. As a result of our second study, we present a model for extending a general semantic desktop ontology with domain-specific concepts and mechanisms for extracting and managing semantic objects from plan documents. Our model adheres to the design criteria from the first case study. The third study investigated machine learning techniques in general and text clustering in particular, to support researchers who study team behavior and performance in C2. In this study, we used material from several C2 scenarios which had been studied previously. We interviewed the participating researchers about their work profiles, evaluated machine learning approaches for the purpose of supporting their work and devised a support system based on the results of our evaluations. In the study, we report on empirical results regarding the precision possible to achieve when automatically classifying messages in C2 workflows and present some ramifications of these results on the design of support tools for communication analysis. Finally, we report how the prototype support system for clustering messages in C2 communications was conceived by the users, the utility of the design criteria from case study 1 when applied to communication analysis, and the possibilities for using text clustering as a concrete support tool in communication analysis. In conclusion, we discuss how the affordances and constraints of intelligent decision support systems for C2 relate to our design criteria, and how the characteristics of each work situation demand new adaptations of the way in which intelligent support systems are used.

MBA Professional Report
In an increasingly constrained resource environment, the enterprise approach was introduced in the U.S. Navy to empower stakeholders across multiple commands to take a holistic view of objectives and processes and become unified to achieve required output with greater efficiency. As a member of the Navy Provider Enterprise, Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is responsible for providing services, equipment and other resources to the Warfare Enterprises with focus of future readiness at minimal cost. This project focuses on enterprise practices within NAVSUP. It analyzes how NAVSUP Enterprise was implemented and designed to function within the Navy Provider Enterprise construct. This project also describes NAVSUP's execution of the organizational change process and analyzes to what extent change is occurring. The results of this thesis reveal that the NAVSUP Provider Enterprise is achieving positive organizational change through the implementation of collaborative enterprise management practices. The thesis reveals some identifiable organizational challenges and change issues that inhibit the achievement of NAVSUP Provider Enterprise goals. These findings are used to develop and present a series of recommendations to assist the leadership to further align NAVSUP Provider Enterprise actions with the change objectives.

The capabilities that Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) technologies can provide to the Marine Corps are just fully coming into view. These new capabilities represent a much more apparent symbiotic relationship between maneuver at the tactical level and the capabilities of a network that supports that maneuver. However, in order to properly leverage these capabilities, a paradigm shift in what networks are and how they are managed must take place. As this new model of meshed, ad-hoc network devices presents a shift in how we employ our networks, the concept of network management must also shift in how we view planning and maintaining networks. This research describes a communication framework and network management system (NMS) that supports the design of network aware systems that enable a robust self-management capability in MANETs.

EMBA Project Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The goal of this project was to conduct research on the current method MSFSC uses to budget for its CIVMAR Support Unit (CSU) hotel contracts, how they are receipted throughout the course of the fiscal year, and finally how they are closed out at the end of the contract period. The client suspected that there were flaws in the current process and was interested in hearing any recommendations to improve the procedures in place to help alleviate the problem of over obligating the CIVMAR Pipeline Budget. Through in-person and telephone interviews, the current process for developing the Hotel Contract portion of the budget as well as the contract award, monitoring, and receipting portion were discovered. Additionally, historical hotel usage rates and historical financial data were analyzed to help determine if there were corrective actions that could be taken. In the end, it was discovered that there was a thorough process in place for awarding, monitoring, and receipting the CIVMAR Hotel Contracts and that this process was currently working as it was designed. The true cause of the problem that the client was witnessing was due to the fact that the budget for the CIVMAR Pipeline, and therefore the CIVMAR Hotel Contracts that fall into this budget, was solely based on historical performance rather than future requirements. Using this method to establish the budget does not take into account changes in the out years and creates a budget that is not in line with the goals of MSFSC. The researchers recommend that MSFSC develop a budget for Expense Type 25812 Hotel Contracts that is reflective of the future goals of MSFSC by taking into account future manning levels and what impact those levels have on the size of the CIVMAR Support Units and the hotel contract requirement that goes along with the CSUs.

Abstract:
A teoria do Comando e Controle estudada sobre a ótica de John Boyd, importante estrategista militar do século XX, é uma poderosa ferramenta não apenas para o escopo militar mas também para qualquer outra atividade civil que demande o monitoramento de pessoas, veículos, embarcações ou quaisquer outros elementos de interesse. Atualmente a introdução de técnicas de computação gráfica são importantes para o ciclo OODA (Observar–Orientar–Decidir–Agir), especialmente nos passos da observação e da orientação. Estes artifícios tornam estas etapas mais eficientes e menos sujeitas a erros. A implementação das premissas de Comando e Controle com a tecnologia atual não é uma tarefa trivial. Aspectos relacionados à escolha de componentes móveis e distribuídos bem como a implementação de diversos elementos gráficos são problemas intrínsecos a esta atividade. Cada um destes aspectos podem ser construídos com uma grande variedade de tecnologias, nem sempre compatíveis entre si. A presente dissertação propõe a construção de um framework de baixo custo capaz de implementar, de maneira eficaz, um sistema informatizado de apoio ao Comando e Controle. O framework é baseado em softwares abertos e confiáveis tendo sua versatilidade comprovada em variados tipos de aplicações. A dissertação também exemplifica a implementação de duas aplicações distintas, demonstrando a tecnologia empregada, a fim de possibilitar a avaliação de diferentes atividades.
The Command and Control theory of John Boyd, a 20th century military strategist, is a powerful tool not only for the military, but also for any civilian activities that require monitoring people, vehicles, boats, or any other elements of interest. Nowadays computer graphics techniques are important for the OODA loop (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act), especially on observing and orienteering steps. They make these steps more efficient and less prone to errors. The implementation of Command and Control techniques with current technology is not a simple task. It involves the implemantation of graphical, mobile and distributed components. Each of these components can be implemented with a variety of technologies, that are often incompatible with each other. This dissertation proposes a low cost framework capable of effectively support the implemantation of a Command and Control computer system. The framework is based on open source reliable technologies and has proven versatile for different types of applications. The dissertation also presents the implementation of two different applications with the proposed technology to support its evaluation.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the impact of the developments made during the First World War and the inter-war period in tactical air support. Further to this, it will analyse how these developments led to the creation of Army Co-operation Command and affected the role it played developing army air support in Britain. Army Co-operation Command has been neglected in the literature on the Royal Air Force during the Second World War and this thesis addresses this neglect by adding to the extant knowledge on the development of tactical air support and fills a larger gap that exists in the literature on Royal Air Force Commands. Army Co-operation Command was created at the behest of the army in the wake of the Battle of France. A key area of development was the communications system to enable troops to request air support in the field. The Command was also involved in developing the Air Observation Post Squadron. Air Observation Post aircraft were used to direct the fire of artillery batteries from the air. In 1943, an operational tactical air force replaced Army Co-operation Command. This study highlights inter-service difficulties over the provision of air support.

In the wake of a global natural disaster, the U.S. Military often plays a significant logistical role at the request of the Department of State to overall relief efforts. Its primary purposes in these support missions are to safeguard lives, alleviate human suffering, and mitigate property damage. Our military has robust capabilities in transportation and security, and readily available stockpiles of life-saving humanitarian assistance and disaster relief material. Disaster relief operations are time-critical because delays in the delivery of aid can cause increased suffering and perhaps death. This thesis optimizes the transportation of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief material to the affected state within the U.S. Pacific Command Area of Responsibility. Optimization of this transportation network results in significant reductions of planning times, development and analysis of several alternative courses of action, and savings in delivery times and/or costs. A cost versus time analysis of various alternatives provides decision makers with more flexibility than they previously had.

Abstract:
This thesis describes and tests a system for Low Cost Graphics (LO- CO-GRAF) which enables a small computer to generate and display high quality cartographic maps from a remote mainframe computer database. A small computer must emulate a graphics terminal while interfacing with a mainframe program which processes the necessary data. This solution has been accomplished through four smaller tasks. The tasks include communicating with the source system, emulating a graphics terminal, interfacing with a map generation program, and producing a local hardcopy of the generated map. All software and hardware required for these component parts, in addition to the use of standard methodologies, were selected for their widespread availability at Department of Defense (DOD) agencies. Research was conducted using the Health/Zenith Z-120 as the small microcomputer and the Tektronix 4010 graphics terminal was chosen to model and emulate; two separate source graphics packages were used to generate maps. Concept validation involved the use of DISSPLA, the primary graphics package used on an IBM 3033 mainframe computer at the Naval Postgraduate School, and the Briefing Aid System, a map generation program maintained on the VAX mainframe computer at University of Southern California's Information Systems Institute, which was accessed and employed via Defense Data Network (DDN)

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California
This paper presents a new architecture of the end-to-end ground system to reduce overall mission support costs. The present ground system of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is costly to operate, maintain, deploy, reproduce, and document. In the present climate of shrinking NASA budgets, this proposed architecture takes on added importance as it will dramatically reduce all of the above costs. Currently, the ground support functions (i.e., receiver, tracking, ranging, telemetry, command, monitor and control) are distributed among several subsystems that are housed in individual rack-mounted chassis. These subsystems can be integrated into one portable laptop system using established MultiChip Module (MCM) packaging technology. The large scale integration of subsystems into a small portable system will greatly reduce operations, maintenance and reproduction costs. Several of the subsystems can be implemented using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products further decreasing non-recurring engineering costs. The inherent portability of the system will open up new ways for using the ground system at the “point-of-use” site as opposed to maintaining several large centralized stations. This eliminates the propagation delay of the data to the Principal Investigator (PI), enabling the capture of data in real-time and performing multiple tasks concurrently from any location in the world. Sample applications are to use the portable ground system in remote areas or mobile vessels for real-time correlation of satellite data with earth-bound instruments; thus, allowing near real-time feedback and control of scientific instruments. This end-to-end portable ground system will undoubtedly create opportunities for better scientific observation and data acquisition.

In this MBA project, we develop a linear programming model to use as a capital budgeting decision support tool for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is requiring a 15% reduction in SPAWARs spending on management support services in the fiscal year (FY) 2014 budget. This thesis develops an operational linear optimization decision model meant to provide analysis and recommendations to support the decision-making by SPAWAR on achieving the required spending reduction within 10 product service codes (PSCs) with minimal impact to the warfighter. The model is easy to use and can be adjusted to account for changes in the decision environment of SPAWAR. Based on our optimization decision model results and analysis, we provide recommendations to SPAWAR for PSC spending that can be effectively utilized for the FY2014 budget.

Abstract:
This thesis evaluates the Staff Planning and Decision Support System (SPADS). The analysis presented uses the Modular Command and Control Environment Structure (MCES), a structured approach to evaluate C2 systems using standard and evolving operational research tools. The analysis answered the following three problems by assessing the effectiveness of SPADS. Did SPADS provide the V Corps commander and his staff with the ability to exercise command and control of combat assets to meet overall mission objectives? Did SPADS demonstrate that the dispersed command post concept enhanced command survivability? Did SPADS evolve as a command and control force effectiveness system for the V Corps DCP based upon operational lessons learned? Appropriate measures of performance, effectiveness, and force effectiveness were identified to answer these problems. These measures and their assessment are presented as a strawman for consideration by the analytical community. As SPADS evolved from August 1981 to March 1985, it provided distinct advantages to the V Corps commander and his staff in terms of effective C2 mission orientation, enhanced command survivability, and increased C2 force effectiveness.

MBA Professional Report
This project investigates the distinction between cost-benefit analysis and cost management. Although there exist several precedents in which elements of the Department of Defense have practiced cost management, nowhere to be found was an example of applied cost management in a theater of combat. This project provides a case study of the 316th ESC, which may begin to fill that void. The 316th ESC's staff forecasted future consumption, supervised the execution of operational missions, measured the consumption of resources, and reviewed variances between what was planned and what actually happened. These steps raised questions that fed continuous improvement. Of the many projects initiated by the 316th ESC, the two that best exemplified the cost-management process were the institution of supply referrals and the reductions of Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) inventories. Supply referrals significantly reduced inventories, lowered transportation costs, and improved customer wait time. The reduction of MRE inventories saved over $4 .8 million in direct costs, and saved Soldiers' lives by reducing supply convoys. By planning, executing, measuring, and reviewing the consumption of resources, the 316th ESC was able to target inefficiency and overconsumption, while providing better service to its customers. It accomplished its mission at the right cost.

Abstract:
Nya ledningsstödsystem är under införande inom Försvarsmakten. För förband som verkar inom teknisk tjänst innebär detta nya förutsättningar för att lösa sina uppgifter. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur väl de ledningsstödssystem som är under införande är anpassade till verksamhetens krav inom Teknisk Bataljon och vilka förändringar som bör göras för att få en klok systemlösning. Styrande dokument inom teknisk tjänst har studerats och personer verksamma inom Teknisk Bataljon och Forsvarets Forskningsinstitutt har intervjuats. Tekniskt finns det förutsättningar för att arbeta effektivt, men idag används flera olika system parallellt. Det är på fältet svårt att ha en gemensam teknisk lägesbild, där särskilt överblick av reservdelar och materiell status är viktigt. Det största hindret för detta är förmågan att i samma system verka mellan förband då transmissionsresurser kan vara olika eller saknas. Säkerhetskrav och förmågan att verka med andra nationer utgör även dessa hinder för att verka effektivt både nationellt och internationellt. Studien pekar på att systeminförandet inte kommer att leda till gynnsammast möjliga effekter då detta inte sker på tillräcklig nivå, eller är koncentrerat till ett system, för att lyckas med detta. Effektivare ledningsstödsystem möjliggör lättare och därmed rörligare tekniska förband. En klok implementering skulle ha både verksamhetsrationella och kostnadseffektiva vinster.
New Command and Control Support systems are being introduced within the Swedish Armed Forces. Military maintenance units are therefore presented with new conditions. This study aims to evaluate how well this implementing of systems is adapted to said organizations and what should be done to further improve the effects of this change. Directorial documents are studied and active personnel are interviewe to provide data for this study. There are technical solutions to put in place an effective use of maintenance units and today there are several systems used side by side. Sensemaking is hard to achieve on the field, in particular with important items like spare parts and technical systems. The largest hindrance is within transmission resources and common transmission system, which are sometimes different and sometimes absent. Information security and capability to exchange information with other nations restricts operational effect, both nationally and internationally. This study suggests that the implementation will not reach optimum effect since the changes doesn’t reach low enough within the organization, or are focused on a single system to achieve maximum effect. More effective Command and Control systems enable more mobile maintenance units. A wise implementation will lead to both rational operations and economical efficiency.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the political, social and, in particular, military conditions that influenced the allegiance of the men and women of the political community of Lothian, that is to say those people with personal landholding, legal and military obligations whose services were crucial to the efficient administration of the sheriffdom and whose support was courted by kings and magnates alike. The key issue is the high degree of survival among these minor landed families. The upper strata of Scottish political society underwent considerable changes in the early to middle fourteenth century through the fortunes of war, in particular through the disinheritance of the Comyn family and their allies early in the reign of Robert I. Some families lost their Scottish properties, such as the Balliols and the Comyns. Others grew in stature; notably the Douglases and, in Lothian specifically, the Setons and the Lauders. Most landholders would probably have been content to retain their inheritances, and indeed, virtually all of the Lothian landed families of the late thirteenth century would seem to have managed to do just that. A high rate of success is not necessarily evidence that something is easily achieved; the retention of family properties was a complex business in wartime. In the period 1296-1314 the political community had to discharge their financial, legal and military burdens to the party currently in charge, but without permanently compromising themselves with the opposition, who might, after all, be in a position to exert lordship themselves at some point in the future. The military burdens are central to this thesis. Army service was a very obvious indication of allegiance. Given the nature of the normal practice of war in thirteenth and fourteenth century Europe, it is inevitable that this study examines the nature and incidence of armoured cavalry service in Lothian. The overwhelming majority of that service was performed by minor landholders. Records of their service in garrisons or their forfeiture as rebels provide us with a guide to the rate and incidence of defections from one party to another and therefore some guide to the degree to which a particular party was able to impose their lordship. The thesis explores the various challenges that faced the lesser landholders and more prosperous tenants and burgesses who lived through the Wars of Independence from the campaign of 1296 which ended the reign of King John and imposed the rule of Edward I, until 1341 when Edinburgh castle was recovered by the Scots from the forces of Edward III. It also questions the extent to which Edward III was able to impose his lordship in Lothian, considers the nature of the forces ranged against him and challenges the perception that only the outbreak of the Hundred Years War prevented the operational defeat of the Bruce party. The siege of Edinburgh castle in 1341 marked the end of the last attempt by an English medieval king to provide Lothian with a government. Naturally this would not have been abundantly apparent at the time; however subsequent English invasions, though they might attack Edinburgh, were not designed to bring about the conquest of Lothian. The political environment of Lothian landholders therefore differed substantially in 1296-41 compared to the century either side of the Wars of Independence in that the minor nobility faced difficult decisions which had to be made on assessments of the likely eventual success of the Balliol, Plantagenet and Bruce parties.

Full text
Abstract:
The science of disaster medicine is more a descriptive than analytical type. Research, in most instances, has not employed quantitative methods and there is very sparse knowledge based on analytical statistics. One consequence of this is that similar mistakes are repeated over and over. Lessons that should be learned are merely observed. Moreover, there are almost no practical or ethical ways in which randomised controlled studies can be performed. The management, command and control of situations on different levels of hierarchy has eldom been evaluated and there have been no standards against which performance can be evaluated. Furthermore, the documentation of decisions and staff work is rarely sufficient enough to evaluate command and control functions. Setting standards that may be used as templates for evaluation and research is an issue that is constantly being addressed by leading experts in the field of disaster medicine and this is also an important issue that is expressed in the Utstein Template. Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, templates of performance indicators were developed. These were tested on reports available from incidents, and our conclusion was that documentation in this form was not adequate enough for use in this method of evaluation. Documentation must be improved and data probably need to be captured and stored with the help of information systems. A template developed for the evaluation of medical command and control at the scene was tested in standardised examinations. When using this template in this setting it was possible to obtain specific information on those aspects of command and control that need to be improved. An information system using on-line Internet technique was studied twice. The first study concluded that in spite of technical disturbances the system was acceptable to the organisation but could not yet be recommended for use during major incidents. The second study concluded that the retrieval of information was, in all respects not as good as the control system, a conventional ambulance file system. In a study of staff procedure skills during training of management staffs in command and control it was concluded that documentation during training sessions was not adequate and this lack of staff procedure skills could possibly be a contributing factor to the fact that lessons in command and control are not learned from incidents. Conclusions in thesis are that measurable performance indicators can be used in the training of command and control. If performance indicators are to be used in real incidents and disasters, functioning information systems have to be developed. This may lead to a better knowledge of command and control and could possibly contribute to a process where lessons are learned and mistakes are not repeated.

Abstract:
Situation Awareness (SA) is critical commodity for teams working in complex sociotechnical systems and is thus a fundamental consideration in collaborative system design and evaluation. Despite this, SA remains predominantly an individual construct, with the majority of models and measures focused on SA from an individual perspective. In comparison, team SA has received much less attention and this thesis argues that further work is required in the area both in relation to the development of theoretical perspectives and of valid measures, and to the development of guidelines for system, training and procedure design. This thesis advances team SA theory and measurement by further investigating a recently proposed model of SA in complex collaborative environments, the Distributed Situation Awareness (DSA) approach, and by testing a new methodology for representing and analysing DSA during real world collaborative activities. A review of SA theory and SA measurement approaches is presented. Following this, the DSA theory and propositional network assessment methodology are outlined and a series of case studies on DSA during real world collaborative activities in the military and civil domains are presented. The findings are subsequently used to explore the concept of DSA and the sub-concepts of compatible and transactive SA. In conclusion, a model of DSA in complex collaborative systems is presented, and a series of system design guidelines for supporting DSA are outlined.

Teleworking is a fastly developing field, but the teacher profession has not been among thosein the forefront. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic several professions, including universityteachers, have been forced into telework in order to decrease infection rates of Covid-19. Thisstudy analyzes how forced telework affects the experience of a changed work situation. Theaim is to examine how, due to the pandemic, forced telework have affected universityteachers’ experience of their work situation and work/family balance. Six qualitativeinterviews are analyzed through themes of room for action, work load, workplace support andwork/family balance by using the Command -control(-support)model and Work/FamilyBorder Theory. Level of responsibility, authority and previous technical abilities and digitalexperience are shown to be important aspects in relation to dealing with the changed workingenvironment. The balance between work and family/private life is experienced differently butyoung children and availability are two aspects which makes boundary-making harder nowcompared to before the switch to teleworking.

Abstract:
Mobilt Kärnnät (MKN) är benämningen på kommunikationsinfrastrukturen i Försvarsmaktens Ledningssystem IO 2014. MKN realiseras genom sammankoppling av mobila noder som är grupperade vid staber och förband inom markarenan. Ett flertal transmissionssystem och transmissionsmedia kan användas för sammankoppling. I detta arbete har sammankoppling med två olika radiolänksystem studerats. Radiolänk 371 utvecklades för att hantera transmissionen i arméns tidigare sambandssystem, Telesystem 9000. Radiolänk 373 är under utveckling och införande. Utgångspunkten för jämförelsen har varit MKN kravställning. Kraven har inordnats under ett urval den militära lämplighetens indikatorer, som är en del i konceptet för militär nytta, för att ge svar på om det införandet av det nya systemet kan bidra till den militära nyttan. Arbetet indikerar att införandet av ett nytt radiolänksystem som transmissionssystem i MKN kommer att bidra till den militära nyttan genom ökad överföringskapacitet i nätet, möjligheter till större flexibilitet vid upprättande av transmissionsnätet och det nya radiolänksystemets förmåga att sända och mottaga i två riktningar samtidigt, med olika moduleringsformer, med endast en utrustning.
Radio relay links is used to connect the system nodes within the land component commands communication network structure. The radio relay link-system used today, Radio relay link 371, was developed in the mid-80s to support the former communication network structure, Telecommunication System 9000. The development of technology since has made the old radio relay link outdated and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration has developed a new radio relay link system, RL 373, to the Swedish Armed Forces. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the new radio relay link better contributed to the military utility, by comparing the two radio relay link systems towards the demands that are set for the communication network structure. The study indicates that the implementation of the new radio relay link better contributes to the military utility by adding increased flexibility, both tactical and technical and it also supports higher transmission speeds. The new system is also able to establish two connections in different directions from one piece of equipment and the adaptive modulation capability built in the system also contributes to the desired flexibility.

This thesis analyzes the feasibility, functionality, and usability of Ultra Wideband technology as an alternative to 802.11 in wireless mesh networks for multiple DoD contexts. Ultra wideband and wireless mesh network technologies and applications are researched and analyzed through multiple field and lab experiments for usability in current, real-world situations. Hardware and software investigations are conducted to determine any implementation issues between ultra wideband and wireless mesh networks. A detailed assessment is conducted of the various elements and operational constraints for developing an ultra wideband mesh network that can be utilized to improve situational awareness in network-centric operations. Through joint research with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, various hardware and software components are developed to create a test bed for tactical level ultra wideband and mesh networking experimentation in a highly mobile environment. This thesis also lays the groundwork into future ultra wideband and mesh networking applications.

Abstract:
Consumers of digital contents are empowered with numerous technologies allowing them to produce perfect copies of these contents and distribute them around the world with little or no cost. To prevent illegal copying and distribution, a technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM) is developed. With this technology, consumers are allowed to access digital contents only if they have purchased the corresponding licenses from license issuers. The problem, however, is that those consumers are not allowed to resell their own licenses- a restriction that goes against the first-sale doctrine. Enabling a consumer to buy a digital license directly from another consumer and allowing the two consumers to fairly exchange the license for a payment are still an open issue in DRM research area. This thesis investigates existing security solutions for achieving digital license reselling and analyses their strengths and weaknesses. The thesis then proposes a novel Reselling Deal Signing (RDS) protocol to achieve fairness in a license reselling. The idea of the protocol is to integrate the features of the concurrent signature scheme with functionalities of a License Issuer (LI). The security properties of this protocol is informally analysed and then formally verified using ATL logic and the model checker MOCHA. To assess its performance, a prototype of the RDS protocol has been developed and a comparison with related protocols has been conducted. The thesis also introduces two novel digital tokens a Reselling Permission (RP) token and a Multiple Reselling Permission (MRP) token. The RP and MRP tokens are used to show whether a given license is single and multiple resalable, respectively. Moreover, the thesis proposes two novel methods supporting fair and secure digital license reselling. The first method is the Reselling Deal (RD) method which allows a license to be resold once. This method makes use of the existing distribution infrastructure, RP, License Revocation List (LRL), and three protocols: RDS protocol RD Activation (RDA) protocol, and RD Completion (RDC) protocol. The second method is a Multiple License Reselling (MLR) method enabling one license to be resold N times by N consumers. The thesis presents two variants of the MLR method: RRP-MR (Repeated RP-based Multi-Reselling) and HC-MR (Hash Chain-based Multi-Reselling). The RRP-MR method is designed such that a buyer can choose to either continue or stop a multi-reselling of a license. Like the RD method, the RRP-MR method makes use of RP, LI, LRL, and the RDS, RDA, and RDC protocols to achieve fair and secure reselling. The HC-MR method allows multiple resellings while keeping the overhead on LI at a minimum level and enable a buyer to check how many times a license can be further resold. To do so, the HC-MR utilises MRP and the hash chain cryptographic primitive along with LRL, LI and the RDS, RDA and RDC protocols. The analysis and the evaluation of these three methods have been conducted. While supporting the license reselling, the two methods are designed to prevent a reseller from (1) continuing using a resold license, (2) reselling a non-resalable license, and (3) reselling one license a unauthorised number of times. In addition, they enable content owners of resold contents to trace a buyer who has violated any of the usage rights of a license bought from a reseller. Moreover, the methods enable a buyer to verify whether a license he is about to buy is legitimate for re-sale. Furthermore, the two methods support market power where a reseller can maximise his profit and a buyer can minimise his cost in a reselling process. In comparison with related works, our solution does not make use of any trusted hardware device, thus it is more cost-effective, while satisfying the interests of both resellers and buyers, and protecting the content owner's rights.

Cependant, à travers des procédures de commande et de contrôle, le contexte de mise en œuvre a totalement changé. Les directeurs de commande numérique sont de plus en plus complexes. La programmation CN doit être optimisée et contrôlée. Cette évolution nécessite le développement d'interface homme - machine interactive et conviviale, cela induit des contraintes en formation et en utilisation. A travers l'élaboration d'un didacticiel destiné à acquérir la maîtrise de la programmation des machines-outils à commande numérique en langage ISO, on a abordé la dimension pédagogique d'un des domaines de la mécanique. Par ailleurs, une vérification de la justesse des programmes CN est réalisée. Le contexte opérationnel (spécificité du directeur de commande, choix des outils) a été traité afin de mettre l'opérateur en situation. Une interface conviviale, secondée par différents modes d'aides, autorise l'emploi de ce module par des usagers débutants ou confirmés. Une analyse syntaxique, lexicale et grammaticale des informations saisies est effectuée en temps réel de manière à adresser à l'utilisateur des messages pertinents adaptés à son niveau. Le module d'analyse utilise un moteur d'inférence spécifique et des structures algorithmiques en langage C++. Développé en liaison avec des partenaires industriels, le didacticiel réalisé montre la faisabilité de produits fortement interactifs intégrant les contraintes réelles du monde industriel
Current manufacturing process of mechanical pieces have shortly evolved in relation to the used physical process. However, through procedures of control, the context of implementation has totally changed. CNC are increasingly complex. The NC programming has to be optimised and controlled. This evolution necessitates the development of convivial and interactive Human/machine interfaces that induced constraints in training and in utilisation. Through the elaboration of a teaching software destined for acquire the ability to programme CNC machine tool with ISO language, we approached the pedagogical dimension of mechanic. Furthermore, a verification of the precision of CNC programs is realised. The operational context (Characteristic of CNC, choice of tools) has been processed so as to put the operator in the context. A convivial interface, seconded by different types of help, authorises the use of this module by beginners or by experts. Syntactic, lexical and grammatical analysis of typed information's is undertaken in real manner time in order to address to the user relevant messages adapted at its level. The analysis module uses an inference method and algorithmic one, they are developed in C++ language. Developed with collaboration of industrial partners, the software realised shows the feasibility of strongly interactive products integrating real constraints of the industrial world

This dissertation presents an approach to assess and validate causal inference tools to es- timate the causal effect of a treatment. Finding treatment effects in observational studies is complicated by the need to control for confounders. Common approaches for controlling include using prognostically important covariates to form groups of similar units containing both treatment and control units or modeling responses through interpolation. This disser- tation proposes a series of new, computationally efficient methods to improve the analysis of observational studies. Treatment effects are only reliably estimated for a subpopulation under which a common support assumption holds—one in which treatment and control covariate spaces overlap. Given a distance metric measuring dissimilarity between units, a graph theory is used to find common support. An adjacency graph is constructed where edges are drawn between similar treated and control units to determine regions of common support by finding the largest connected components (LCC) of this graph. The results show that LCC improves on existing methods by efficiently constructing regions that preserve clustering in the data while ensuring interpretability of the region through the distance metric. This approach is extended to propose a new matching method called largest caliper matching (LCM). LCM is a version of cardinality matching—a type of matching used to maximize the number of units in an observational study under a covariate balance constraint between treatment groups. While traditional cardinality matching is an NP-hard, LCM can be completed in polynomial time. The performance of LCM with other five popular matching methods are shown through a series of Monte Carlo simulations. The performance of the simulations is measured by the bias, empirical standard deviation and the mean square error of the estimates under different treatment prevalence and different distributions of covariates. The formed matched samples improve estimation of the population treatment effect in a wide range of settings, and suggest cases in which certain matching algorithms perform better than others. Finally, this dissertation presents an application of LCC and matching methods on a study of the effectiveness of right heart catheterization (RHC) and find that clinical outcomes are significantly worse for patients that undergo RHC.
