“…The projection pursuit method is an effective dimensionality reduction technology which is applied to analysis and deal with the higher dimensional, nonlinear and abnormal problems. The evaluation results are consistent with the reality case, it has been applied widely in disaster assessment, water quality evaluation, industrial economy and so on [4][5][6][7] . In this paper ,we will evaluate cyberwar's synthetical ability based on projection pursuit method, which provide a new idea to solve this kind of problem.…”

An evaluation of cyberwar's synthetical ability based on projection pursuit method is discussed in this article. The method is adopted to transform the main indexes which impact on cyberwar's synthetical ability into one-dimensional projection value and give the order of evaluation of every countries' cyberwar's synthetical ability, at the same time, get the weight of every main index. This article supply a new idea to the evaluation of cyberwar's synthetical ability.

In order to evaluate the anti-jamming capacity of the radar net under information warfare conditions, this paper adopts the projection pursuit method to convert the main performance indexes which affect the radar net anti-jamming capacity into one dimension projection value, offers their evaluation and ranking of such indexes and achieves the weights of the these evaluation indexes. This method does not only realize the evaluation of the radar net anti-jamming capacity but also provides a new method to evaluate such a capacity.

“…A mixed integer dynamic programming model was developed by Wang, et al in 2008, for the single-commodity multi-mode transportation of emergency relief commodities (Wang, et al, 2008). Zhu and Ji analyzed the subsystems that sustain emergency logistics which include the provision of infrastructure, emergency transportation canal, network coordination, among others (Zhu and Ji, 2009).…”

A system dynamics model was developed for the forecasting, prioritization, and distribution of critical supplies during relief operations in case of a hurricane event, while integrating GIS information. Data was obtained from operational reports gathered during Hurricane George from agencies such as: Puerto Rico Department of Housing (PRDOH), Puerto Rico National Guard (PRNG), Civil Defense State Agency of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (PRDOTPW) and Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority (PRHTA), along with reports from other U.S. agencies. Information about travel times, roadway classification, and geometric characteristics of the roads as well as the location of distribution centers, shelters, points of distribution and kitchens facilities were also gathered through visual field inspections and interviews with local residents. The model developed is able to (1) establish the people's decision and transportation characteristics that determine the time of evacuation; (2) simulate the behavior of key variables due to the relation between level of hazard and people's decision to evacuate; (3) estimate for each level of natural hazard the time frequency to order and the order size of each relief supply to be needed in shelters and points of distribution; and (4) reveal which routes cause more delays during distribution of relief supplies. It was demonstrated that the number of people that leave the disaster site increases despite their concerns about the road conditions and that a Category 3 hurricane will produce the higher amount of people that will evacuate.
