Sommario/riassunto

Still and moving images are crucial factors in contemporary political conflicts. They not only have representational, expressive or illustrative functions, but also augment and create significant events. Beyond



altering states of mind, they affect bodies and often life or death is at stake. Various forms of image operations are currently performed in the contexts of war, insurgency and activism. Photographs, videos, interactive simulations and other kinds of images steer drones to their targets, train soldiers, terrorise the public, celebrate protest icons, uncover injustices, or call for help. They are often parts of complex agential networks and move across different media and cultural environments. This book is a pioneering interdisciplinary study of the role and function of images in political life.

Sommario/riassunto

This user’s reference is a companion to the separate book also titled “Guide to Modeling and Simulation of Systems of Systems.” The principal book explicates integrated development environments to support virtual building and testing of systems of systems, covering in some depth the MS4 Modeling Environment™. This user’s reference provides a quick reference and exposition of the various concepts and functional features covered in that book. The topics in the user’s reference are grouped in alignment with the workflow displayed on the MS4 Modeling Environment™ launch page, under the headings Atomic



Models, System Entity Structure, Pruning SES, and Miscellaneous. For each feature, the reference discusses why we use it, when we should use it, and how to use it. Further comments and links to related features are also included.
