POW-ER: Computational Modeling of C2 Organizations and Processes (archived)
Abstract
Through collaboration with colleagues at Stanford University, the Edge Center has developed extensive
experience with POW-ER (Projects, Organizations and Work for Edge Research), an environment for
computational modeling of organizations and processes. POW-ER enables one to model, simulate and
analyze the comparative performance of alternate organization designs--including different organization
structures, work processes, technologies and personnel--in a virtual environment. This enables the
comparative strengths and weaknesses of competing organization designs to be identified and analyzed,
very quickly, in advance of making decisions to commit or change to any one or another. Hence it can
inform the organization leader and policy maker to an unprecedented degree.
