Recenzii
Listen to Natalie Scalatalking about election security and her book Handbook of Military and Defense Operations Research on Problem Solved, a podcast byIISE here.
“This handbook, edited byScala (Towson Univ.) and Howard (Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns HopkinsUniv.) comprises four parts. Part 1 presents ten key activities involved inoperations research (OR), including mastery of data analytics, structuredproblem solving, and simulation optimization, among others. Part 2, titled"Soft Skills and Client Relations," explores the practicalities ofpersuading users to actually implement and test the theoretically developed ORsolutions. The third part, "Applications," offers a set of casestudies on how various OR techniques and modelingapproaches have been applied in different contexts, e.g., cybersecurity,terrorist group activities, and engineering cost and risk management. Part 4,"Perspectives," deals with the relationship between OR and datascience, and especially the issues surrounding modernization of OR educationwithin the military to meet its inevitably changing needs both today and in thefuture. Though the emphasis throughout the book is on specific military issuesand applications, the methods and cases discussed would be applicable for usein OR courses offered in nonmilitary institutions. In addition to being anatural acquisition for libraries of military academies, the book would find areadership in the libraries of all institutions where OR courses are offered.”
—CHOICE Review
"The Handbook ofMilitary and Defense Operations Research is anexcellent introduction to the application of operations research and analyticstechniques to current defense related problems."
—Emeritus Professor SteveHorton, United States Military Academy
"The editors andcontributors are a 'who’s who' of operations research professionals in thefield of applied national security analytics. This Handbook should occupy aprominent location on every analyst’s bookshelf – from undergraduate student tosenior practitioner – and its techniques should be in every analyst’stoolkit."
—Brian Morgan,President-Elect, Military Operations Research Society
"This reference bookhas important papers on all the topics needed for a practitioner of military ORto improve his or her skills toolbox. This book will not collect dust on ashelf. It will be used regularly."
—Professor RobinDillon-Merrill, Georgetown University
"Scala’s experienceand observations inspired her research interests as a professor and recentlymotivated her decision to write her first book, Handbook of Military and Defense Operations Research[. . . .] The book offers toolsand techniques that help transition a person from learning operations researchand analytics in school to applying it in a new problem space – namely, defense. Or, it works vice-versa; the same tools andtechniques could help a person who has experience in the military but may nothave formal education in analytics."
—Jenna Harrity,Business Dialog, Towson University
"The Handbook ofMilitary and Defense Operations Research will make agreat addition to any defense analyst’s library. Withcontributions from some of the most well-known practitioners and researchers inthe defense analysis field, this volume provides agreat introduction to modern analytic methods and how they apply to criticalproblems in national defense."
