1 r Advancing SOTA in Applying Network Science to C2 Tim Grant Professor emeritus, Netherlands Defence Academy Retired But Active Researchers (R-BAR) with René Janssen & Herman Monsuur (NLDA)
2 2 Overview Goal: To outline recent advances in the state of the art of applying network science to C2 Overview: Introduction Network science in C2 State of the art (SOTA) Recent advances Limitations, conclusions, & future research directions
3 3 Introduction: my research My research area: Command & Control (C2: military & emergency management) My approach: Professional hobby, preferably in collaboration My current topics: Information sharing in coalition C2: 2 PhD students (cultural influences; ecommerce to support CMI) Offensive cyber operations: Integrating kinetic & cyber ops Incorporating network science into C2 theory: Editing book (with René Janssen & Herman Monsuur, NLDA) Social media as C2 implementation technology: Analyzing chat from anti-piracy operations (with Oscar Boot, NLDA)
4 4 Network science in C2 (1) Both disciplines arose in mid 1990s: Modern network science: Branch of mathematics & Operations Research (OR) Network-enabled C2 (e.g. NATO NEC): Military science, leadership, & organization theory Separate communities: Own journals, conferences, & books Yet NCW / NCO / NEC based on networked concepts All kinds of networks found in C2: Computer networks; command structure; social networks; etc.
5 5 Network science in C2 (2) Network science is theory about: Network representation: Network = set of nodes + set of arcs Real-world phenomena: Biological, technical, information, cognitive, socio-organizational C2 encompasses most of these phenomena Network science covers: Network measures: degree, centrality, betweenness, clustering Network topologies: random, small-world, scale-free Network processes: search, navigation, evolution, infection Network resilience: failure, random or targeted attack
6 Feed Forward New Information Cultural Traditions Previous Experience Feed Forward Feed Forward 19th ICCRTS, Alexandria VA, Jun 14 6 Network science in C2 (3) Network: Agent structure node OODA Sensors arc Observations Unfolding Interaction With Environment Genetic Heritage Decision (Hypothesis) Action (Test) Unfolding Interaction With Environment Effectors information (flow) unit agent relationship Multi-agent system:
7 7 Network science in C2 (4) (Technical) system Network model of system Buizer, 2010
8 8 Network science in C2 (5) Albert, Jeong & Barabasi, 2000, Fig 4 Buizer (2010) showed that C2 networks also scale-free
9 9 Network science in C2 (6) Progressive application in NCW / NEC: (1) Network as concept: Network versus hierarchy (implicitly organizational) What nodes and arcs represented was left unspecified (2) Application to computer & telecommunication hardware: System of systems Technical / physical network (3) Recognition of human factors: Information network = which computer has what information Cognitive network = who shares what knowledge (SSA) Social network = who exchanges messages with whom (4) Interacting domains / networks (see next 2 slides)
10 10 Network science in C2 (7) Alberts, 2006 Understanding Decision-making & Sense-making (Decide) Cognitive & Social Domains Command Intent Situation Assessment (Orient) Situation Awareness C2 systems Battlespace Management Information Domain Generate & disseminate orders (Act) Van Ettinger, 2008 Battlespace Monitoring (Observe) Operating Environment Synchronization Physical Domain

15 15 Recent advances (3) Part 1: Organizational contributions: De-conflicting Civil-Military Networks: Operation Unified Protector as case study Achieving de-confliction between civil & military partners Identify lessons learned: personalities, rotations, agreeing goals Shaping Comprehensive Emergency Response Networks: Multiple Dutch case studies involving local community How professional ER organizations can use community capacity Gain resilience by balance between directive & empathetic governance Networked Operations: Principles of modular organizing: US Army versus Netherlands Army as case study Modular organization theory from Organization & Management science Near-decomposability as organizational design parameter
16 16 Recent advances (4) Part 2: Modelling contributions: Modelling Command & Control in Networks: Based on Brehmer s (2007; 2013) C2 theory Approach to modelling C2 functions over geographical network Formalized Ontology for C2 Systems as Layered Networks: Geographical, physical, information, cognitive, & socio-organizational Logical ontology, formalized as Entity-Relationship Diagrams 9-11 as example (simulation) application Modeling C2 Networks as Dependencies: C2 modelled as capabilities, dependencies, & vulnerabilities Analyst tool implemented; insurgent scenario as case study Aids in developing plan to alter behaviour of opposing network or increase resilience of own network
17 17 Recent advances (5) Part 3: Network science contributions: Dynamical Network Structures in Multi-Layered Networks: Theoretical contribution, using stochastic actor-based method Analyzing effect of reciprocity & covering on actors behaviour Improving C2 Effectiveness based on Robust Connectivity: Developing improved metric for network effectiveness using Cares (2005) Information Age Combat Model Simulation shows shift in focus from nodes to network as whole Complex Adaptive Information Networks for Defence: Understanding nature of networks that can create self-synchronization Analysis at 3 levels: Node & linkage topology; Local interaction between nodes; Feed through into clustering Complexity theory gives deep insight into self-synchronization
