9.1 Introduction

In an earlier paper (Mathieu et al. 2007b), an existing Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) process model (i.e., Petri net) and new global and mission models for the environment in which the AOC operates (i.e., system dynamics) were linked (federated). The focus of this chapter is the development of an operator– environment ...
