13 th ICCRTS : C 2 for Complex Endeavors

چکیده
Scholars have devoted increasing efforts to understanding crisis response networks (Denning 2006a, 2006b; Stephenson and Schnitzer 2006), especially in the case of networks comprised of disparate members who acknowledge no higher organizational authority. Coordination within disaster response networks is difficult for several reasons, including the chaotic nature of the crisis, a need for the various organizations to balance shared goals (crisis amelioration) and organization-specific goals, and the lack of a central organizing authority (Denning 2006a, 2006b; Stephenson and Schnitzer 2006). More recently, scholars (Stephenson and Schnitzer 2006) have suggested crisis response networks might be able to coordinate effectively in the absence of a central organizing authority. Grounded in general system theory (e.g., Bertalanffy 1962, 1968; Kast and Rosenzweig 1972; Senge 1990; Weinberg 1975), and particularly the use of feedback loops (Masuch 1985; Richardson 1999), this paper seeks to understand whether feedback loops comprised of reciprocal resource commitments can engender greater trust and commitment among organizations responding to a crisis. This paper describes a campaign of experimentation set in the Maritime Interdiction Operation, an experimental campaign operated by the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Network Innovation and Experimentation.

Modern military operations are characterized by highly dynamic environments, complex strategic, operational, and tactical situations, a rich and evolving mix of allies and adversaries, inherent and sometimes massive uncertainty, and high risk. This combination of factors requires that military forces must continually transform and adjust to remain highly effective in extremely fluid environment...

An influence network is a directed graph extensively used for Effects-Based Operation. It contains nodes that represent events and links that encode causal relationships among events. It propagates the likelihood of each event through promotion or inhibition by its parents. As a subject matter expert often builds this network by hand, we helped simplify the influence network generation in Organ...
