At Rooms 3 - 5, BAE Systems Park Centre, Farnborough

Tuesday 13th January 2009 8:00pm

Light Refreshments will be provided from 7:30pm

Abstract

Previous mathematical modelling of conflict has been based on Lanchester's
equations, which relate to the grinding attrition of 'Industrial Age'
warfare. Large blocks of force interact in order to force defeat by a
process of wearing away each other. This is no longer so relevant as a way
of conceptualising warfare, and in this talk I show how we can generalise
the approach so that it is more appropriate to the 'Information Age' into
which we are all now moving. 

All N. Hants, Surrey and Berkshire Branch talks are open and free of charge
to anyone who is interested.

Directions: The talk will be held in Rooms 3 - 5, BAES Park Centre,
