Information Technology and Knowledge Distribution in C3I teams

Abstract

This paper lays out a computational model for analyzing the relative efficacy of different C3I architectures for teams with access to different types of databases (ITT). Then using this model, a virtual experiment is conducted. Aspects of this virtual experiment are patterned off of behavior and technology surrounding the knowledge wall. Results suggest that bringing ITT in to traditionally structured teams may reduce their efficiency. Some guidance is provided for how to design C3I architectures for high performance and adaptive teams who are ITT enabled. Implications of these results for the knowledge wall are provided. This study, although preliminary, provides guidance for how to reason about team design in a network centric context.
