Rather, it's for teaching Majors to be Colonels and Generals. I've read several C&GS papers in my 'other field' (military history) and they've varied in quality from outstanding to pure drivel. In the area of the applications of computer science within the military, I'd discount anything done at C&GSC. Now, if the paper were written by an Army person at the Air Force Institute of Technology or Naval Postgraduate School (both degree-granting technical schools), I'd take it much more seriously. I'd still want to see how comprehensive the survey was (all too often such papers get written by asking your friends what they're doing, and extrapolating.) Finally, such papers do *NOT* represent the policies of the services, any more than any individual's thesis represents the policy of any other university. dave
