Network Sciences Collaborative Technology Alliance (NS CTA)
Abstract
The Network Sciences CTA focuses on four major research areas: Information Networks, Communication Networks, Social/Cognitive Networks, and Interdisciplinary Research to develop a fundamental understanding of the ways that information, social/cognitive, and communications networks can be designed, composed, and controlled to dramatically increase mission effectiveness and ultimately enable humans to effectively exploit information for timely decision-making. Information Networks research develops the fundamental understanding of autonomous network activities and its linkage to the physical and human domains as related to human decision making within the networked command and control (C2) structure. Social/Cognitive Networks research is developing the fundamental understanding of the interplay of the various aspects of the social and cognitive networks with information and communications. Communications Networks research is developing the foundational techniques to model, analyze, predict, and control the behavior of secure tactical communication networks as an enabler for information and C2 networks. Integration is focused on achieving an integrated Information Networks, Social/Cognitive Networks, Communications Networks research program that significantly enhances the fundamental understanding of the underlying science of networks.
