Sun Tzu Art of War in Information Warfare
The Sun Tzu Art of War in Information Warfare research competition is named in honor of Sun Tzu, one of the earliest great military thinkers who realized that war, a matter of vital importance to the State, demanded study and analysis. His works are the first known attempt to formulate a rational basis for the planning and conduct of military operations. His purpose, according to Samuel B. Griffith, was "to develop a systematic treatise to guide rulers and generals in the intellegent prosecution of successful war". Sun Tzu was also convinced that careful planning based on sound information would contribute to speedy victory. It is from these intellectual and historical roots that the Sun Tzu Art of War in Information Warfare research competition draws its raison d'etre.
