Abstract

The South-eastern Europe Simulation Network (SEESIM) Computer Assisted Exercise (CAX) is a series of exercises, conducted every two years, within the framework of the South-east Europe Defence Ministerial (SEDM ) process. The purpose of the exercise is to promote cooperation, coordination and interoperability of civil-military operations and enhance crisis response within and among the SEDM nations through effective use of computer modelling and simulation (M&S).
