Organized Complexity in Networks: Insights and Opportunities
Recent efforts to develop a universal view of complex networks have created both excitement and confusion about the way in which knowledge of network structure can be used to understand, control, or design system behavior. In this talk, I contrast the predominant perspective in the network science literature (that abstracts away domain-specific function and instead focuses on graph-theoretic measures of system structure and dynamics) with that of engineers and practitioners (who emphasize the importance of network performance, constraints, and trade-offs). After presenting this view of “organized complexity,” I describe ongoing work and opportunities for understanding the robustness, fragility, and resilience in critical infrastructures and command and control systems.
This panel will review the activities and products of selected recently completed, on-going, and new C2 and Cyber related research groups organized under the auspices of NATO’s Science and Technology Organization.
