Advancing the State of the Art in Applying Network Science to C2

Abstract

The modern period of network science the theory and application of network structure and behaviour and Network Enabled Capabilities (NEC) emerged in the mid to late 1990s. While NEC concentrated initially on telecommunication networks, network science was applied from the outset to modelling real-world phenomena as biological, technical, information, and social networks. Network scientists developed a range of theoretical instruments concerning the properties of nodes and networks, network topologies, robustness, and processes. While NEC researchers extended their coverage from technological networks to include information, cognitive and social networks, they have yet to apply the full range of theoretical instruments now available.
