Research on Hybrid C2 Structures
INSER is involved in a new research project, "Hybrid C2 Structures: Between Hierarchies and Edge Organizations," recently funded through a grant from the Center for Edge Power and sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration, Naval Postgraduate School. PIs are Dr. Kevin Desouza of the Information School and UW INSER and Dr. Sumit Roy of Electrical Engineering.
Two ingredients are used to design the ideal command-and-control (C2) structure—information and the network. Information is generated throughout the organization and must be dissipated by the network to destinations where it is needed. Networks determine the paths that information traverses and the consequent processing and decision-making by intermediate nodes. This project will be an inter-disciplinary perspective to the study of hybrid C2 by examining information networks through multiple lenses by drawing on the investigators' expertise in the fields of information science, organization science, telecommunications network theory, mathematical statistics, and network simulation.
