Abstract
As a general rule, simulation requires detailed data to properly represent a problem. Occasionally, a problem may be successfully solved using only reasonable approximations to the data. This paper describes such a situation. The Army\´s health services conceived the Personal Information Carrier (PIC) as a replacement for the "dog tag." The concept was to support portable personal health records. The problem was to determine the contents of the records to be stored in the PIC.
