A Primer on Graph Theoretic Models and Metrics: Using Graphs for Modeling and Assessing Robustness

Abstract

As the U.S. Department of Defense expands its adoption of digital engineering, and specifically model-based systems engineering (MBSE), new opportunities arise to exploit the resulting rich data environment for purposes beyond system design. MBSE environments comprise data elements, attributes of those data (often called stereotypes), and relationships among those data. These data characteristics are exactly the ones that describe the interrelationships of networks. Networks called graphs in mathematics are models of systems that depict the relationships (links) among entities (nodes).
