Computational Models of Human Organizational Dynamics
Abstract
This is the fifth quarterly report for the project: Computational Models of Human Organizatic Dynamics. This report covers the period from 3/1/98 through 5131/98. Our annual report covers the period from 3/1/97-2/28/98, and so includes the fourth-quarter material. Progress During Reporting Period During this project period we reviewed our progress on the mapping, modeling, and analys technologies we have been developing, with an eye to defining shortfalls and thus defining future directions. We are investigating the potential for a suitable graph representation as a fundamental tool to encode data on actors and their inter-dependencies. We have also significantly extended the crisis-response scenario that we are using to test and illustrate the use of our methods and technologies. With the help of an expert on North Africa ar on special operations, we have expanded the number of actors, their inter-relations, and tI background data that informs the analysis. Plans for Next Quarter Our review this quarter revealed the need to clarify the methodology that disciplines the use of the technologies we have been developing. This is our primary task for the next quarter.
