Modeling Trust in ELICIT-WEL to Capture the Impact of Organization Structure on the Agility of Complex Networks
Abstract
As tactical environments become more complex and dynamic, it has become increasingly important to develop suitable models for them, and to anticipate the effects of organizational and network changes on operational agility and mission effectiveness. Building upon previous work that integrated ELICIT with a wireless emulation test bed, the Wireless Emulation Laboratory (WEL), the ELICIT-WEL system is further enhanced to model the evolution of trust between and among network nodes under varying organizational and network connectivity scenarios. Trust between entities in the organization varies based on perceived willingness and competence within the ELICIT framework. The enhanced integrated emulation platform is then used to conduct a series of agent-based ELICIT experiments whose design is informed by soldier exercises.
