A NEW I/ITSEC EVENT
We all love good thrillers, but the best of these are based on reality, or at least potential reality: those intriguing catastrophic events, either manmade or natural, that are too daunting
for most of us to imagine. Black Swan (as in “as rare as a black swan”) is a term coined
to describe a high-impact, hard-to-predict event that has a major effect on our world, and
in hind-sight seems as though it should have been considered/predicted. Black Swans can
be good or bad and sometimes both.
At I/ITSEC 2015, NTSA and the I/ITSEC Committee invite participation in a showcase
of Black Swan candidates, demonstrating the use of modeling and simulation (M&S) to
predict, plan for, and potentially prevent such events or using M&S to respond, recover
or mitigate its effects. Due to their extreme nature, most Black Swan events can only be
studied in a modeling and simulation environment which is at the heart of the strength of
the NTSA membership.
Terrorists, pandemics, transportation, electric grids are among potential subjects. What
challenge can you imagine, and what M&S analysis or capability do you want to highlight at
I/ITSEC 2015? Participating exhibits will be acknowledged with “Black Swan Participant”
signage and highlighted during I/ITSEC week. More details to come, but let your M&S fed
imaginations start processing!
