2. 1. Generic support for decision-making in effects-based management of operations

   Author : Klas Wallenius; Stefan Arnborg; Mieczyslaw M. Kokar; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Command and Control; Management; Effects-Based Operations; Command Support; Decision Support; Data Fusion; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates computer-based support tools to facilitate decision-making in civilian and military operations. As flexibility is essential when preparing for unknown threats to society, this support has to be general. READ MORE

4. 2. Emotion matters : Emotion management in Swedish Peace Support Operations

   Author : Louise Weibull; Jan Karlsson; Eva Haldén; Lars Dahlgren; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Peace Support Operations; emotion management; low-intensity conflict areas; Sweden; Working Life Science; Arbetsvetenskap; Statsvetenskap med inriktning mot strategi och säkerhetspolitik;

   Abstract : The thesis makes an overall contribution to the qualitative research on soldiers’ experiences from service primarily in low-intensity mission areas, this operational environment being placed within a framework of emotion sociology. The central argument put forward states that even on this type of mission the emotional demands are considerable, and that the need for emotional management in Peace Support Operations (PSO) should therefore generally follow other demarcations than the formal military divisions of high and low intensity conflicts respectively.

5. 3. Sourcing decisions for military logistics in Peace Support Operations : A case study of the Swedish armed forces

   Author : Per Skoglund; Susanne Hertz; David Moore; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; military logistics; public procurement; sourcing; peace support operations;

   Abstract : What role has sourcing for the logistical outcome when Swedish Armed Forces (FM) plan for and conduct Peace Support Operations (PSOs)? What are the logistic needs to support the operating units? Can logistics in itself contribute to the overall goals with the PSOs? It depends of course on how the logistics are organised and what is required in order to support the military operations. The research on military logistics in general is limited and within the conduct of small nations forces almost non-existent. READ MORE

6. 4. Affordances and Constraints of Intelligent Decision Support for Military Command and Control : Three Case Studies of Support Systems

   Author : Ola Leifler; Henrik Eriksson; Patrick Lambrix; Bartel Van de Walle; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Decision Support; planning; machine learning; information management; Command and Control; Computer science; Datalogi;

   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.

7. 5. Time to change : zipping sustainability into operations

   Author : Anna Sannö; Deleryd Mats; Carsten Reuter; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainable operations; environment; technological change; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : Industry is a key player in the transition to a sustainable society, where manufacturing companies need to respond to the challenges of environmental concerns in several ways. The need for managing environmental technological change in production systems is and will continue to be a challenge for manufacturing companies, as they often tend to focus on short-term priorities to stay economically competitive, rather than developing the organisation to manage longer-term environmental competitiveness.
