چکیده
In any multi-actor environment, there is an inevitable trade-off between achieving global coordination of activities and respecting the autonomy of the actors involved. Agile and resilient behaviour demands dynamic coordination capabilities, but task and resource allocation quickly becomes a demanding challenge in joint NEC environments because of individual constraints and demands. In this paper, we present work on adaptive autonomy in multi-agent organizations. We have been researching the relationship between autonomy and coordination, and developed an agent reasoning model that enables collaborative task coordination, but also guarantees individual autonomy – the capability to self-manage behaviour. We define autonomy as the amount of influence other agents have on one’s decision making process. We have given the agent options to adapt its openness to external influences, so it can change its own level of autonomy. This allows agents to select the level of autonomy that best fits the circumstances, given a certain tasking, individual policies and organizational structure. We have incorporated this concept in a practical model and added heuristics for environmental events, information relevance and organizational rules. Our approach addresses fundamental collaborative challenges in NEC environments, and may bring about new perspectives on autonomy in collaborative environments.

Title: Organizational Agility Topic 7: C2 Approaches and Organization
Organizational Agility has been discussed during SAS-065 NATO NEC Command and Control Maturity Model development, the Exploratory Team on C2 Agility, and other similar research efforts. In these contexts, agility is being defined as the ability to recognize changes in situation complexity and move quickly to the most appropriate C2 approach (edge, collaborative, coordinated, or de-conflicted). ...

Safety organizations face the challenge of developing organizational structures that promote the agility required to deal with the complex demands of crisis management situations. In such situations, a collective adopts a command and control (C2) approach in order to achieve the operational goals. C2 agility is defined as the ability to transition from one approach to another as required by sit...

"Operationalizing C2 Agility" is the process of moving from a conceptual model or theory of C2 Agility to applying this theory to improve an entity’s C2 Agility in practice. This process is greatly facilitated if one builds a proper foundation. In this paper, we begin by identifying the critical elements or cornerstones of such a foundation and the role they play in enabling an entity to system...
