Dear LTC Lappi,

I write to you on behalf of the Israel Defense Forces regarding the Operational Simulation Summit expected to take place in November.

We aim the Summit to provide all participants with an International perspective on Operational Simulation and the Challenges affecting the Operational Simulation community in the 21st Century. Thus, we have scheduled for a number of International Speakers to present the different perspectives on Operational Simulation as a Decision Support System (DSS). 

It is with great honor that I extend this invitation to you, on behalf of MG Bengo. The Invitation is for an approximate 20-min presentation on the Finnish Approach regarding Operational Simulation as a DSS. We are open to title amendments. We see your vast experience of utmost importance to the success of the Summit. 

Additionally, attached you will find an Article of one of our experts on Operational Simulation, Professor COL (Res.) Gabi Siboni. The article provides insight into some of the challenges the Operational Simulation Community is facing going into the 21st century. 

I would greatly appreciate it if you can be so kind as to provide a response by October 21st. This is to assure we can arrange for a timeslot in the Agenda.
