Overview

An important long-term objective of the EINSTein project is to develop a platform independent, easily modifiable, toolkit that can be used freely by the academic and military operations research communities. Much of that objective has been accomplished in recent years, as updates to EINSTein have been made available for download on a CNA-sponsored web page. Tables 1.4 (on page 20) and 1.5 (on page 20) list affiliations of registered users and summarize some of the EINSTein-related research that has thus far been conducted outside of CNA.

Indeed, almost all of the EINSTein project work that has been conducted, first, under the sponsorship of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, and, more recently, the Office of Naval Research including research papers, briefing slides, and a Microsoft Windows (95-through-XP, NT, and 2000) executable form of EINSTein (as well as a DOS executable of the older proof of concept combat simulation, ISAAC, along with all of its support files, including a phase-space mapper program and genertic algorith breeder ) is available on-line on the WWW at EINSTein s homepage (see Color Plate 29 on page 275 and figures B.1, B.2, and B.3):
