Abstract: Abstract This issue summarizes the results of a multiyear research program whose basic chapter was to use complex adaptive systems theory to develop tools to help to understand the fundamental processes of war. The chapters are mostly self-contained, so that they may be read in any order, and are roughly divided into two parts. Part one introduces the general context for the ensuing discussion, and provides both qualitative and more technical overviews of those elements of nonlinear dynamics, artificial-life, complexity theory and multiagent-based simulation tools that are applied to modeling combat. Part two summarizes the main ideas introduced throughout the issue.
