Measuring and Modeling Change in C 3 I Architectures

Measures of the CI structure are classified using the PCANSS representation scheme. In PCANSS units are modeled using multi-color networks. Then, given their multi-color representation, a series of CI structures are simulated. The ability of these measures to predict performance and adaptivity of these structures is then statistically analyzed. It is found that multi-color and multi-cell measures are better at predicting performance and adaptivity. • This paper is part of the A2C2 project directed by Daniel Serfaty, Aptima.This work was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), United States Navy Grant No. N00014-97-1-0037 under the direction of Dr. Bill Vaughan, ICES (the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems) , and CASOS (the center for Computational Analysis of Social and Organizational Systems) at CMU.
