... exercise that was underway, DOE with the assistance of the ElA and others had configured an ensemble of models to support the NES analysis. The committee requested and received presentations from DOE and ElA on this ensemble of models and their application to a representative slate of policy issues that were being considered in the NES exercise.

... This final report by the committee addresses NEMS applications and requirements, proposes a modeling architecture to satisfier these requirements, and suggests strategies for NEMS implementation STUDY GENESIS AND BACKGROUND In a statement before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, July 26, 1989, the Secretary of Energy, Admiral James D Watkins, explained President Bush's plan for development of the NES.

... Therefore, after the publication of its first advisory report ache committee looked forward to the development of such a NEMS. The committee believes that the NEMS described In this final report embodies the characteristics needed to analyze critical national energy issues and to provide support for the ongoing NES efforts.

... O ~ ~ ~ ~ _~ ~ V The committee, therefore, referred to three sources of information In denying an operating definition of the NEMS concept The first }s the ongoing analytical requirement to support the mission of the Department. While the NEMS is not, and should not strive to become, the sole modeling capability for the DOE's extensive analytical activities, the committee envisioned a role for the NEMS in directly supporting strategic policy formation aIld indirectly informing, coordinating, and disciplining analysis done with other decentralized modeling capabilities throughout the DOE.

... Chapter 3 then proposes an appropriate architecture and components, or modules, for the NEMS, identifies corresponding data and information requirements, compares the proposed system to present DOE modeling, and discusses some conceptual issues for the proposed modeling approach. Finally, Chapter 4 addresses issues for the successful mplementabon of NEMS.
