Abstract
In this chapter we present an example of the principles and approaches we have described to this point. The example in question is a model of population allegiance in Afghanistan in the face of the Taliban insurgency, and effort by the Afghan government and coalition forces to combat the insurgency. DARPA supported our development of this model as a pilot project, which we refer to it as the ACSES (“Actionable Capability for Social and Economic Systems”) model.
