Is The IW Paradigm Outdated ? A Discussion of U . S . IW Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The term information war (IW) helped describe one aspect of the unfolding revolution in military affairs in the 1990s. Today, technological developments are integrating the data processing capabilities of machines and the mind in ways not possible a decade ago. As a result, the old IW paradigm may no longer be applicable, making other potential paradigms and terms worthy of consideration. As the future unfolds, it will be interesting to see if Pentagon theorists use IW or a new term to express a threat to the security of the country, a category of warfare, a method of defense or influence, or leave the concept alone as a conceptual umbrella for a host of terms. Or, will the Pentagon simply update IW theory, perhaps developing Information Peace or Mind-Machine concepts that complement IW?

Persistence of Invertibility in the Wiener Space
Let (W, H, μ) be the classical Wiener space, assume that U = IW + u is an adapted perturbation of identity where the perturbation u is an equivalence class w.r.to the Wiener measure. We study several necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure invertibility of such maps. In particular the subclass of these maps who preserve the Wiener measure are characterized in terms of the corres...

Abstract: Let (W,H,μ) be the classical Wiener space. Assume that U = IW + u is an adapted perturbation of identity, i.e., u : W → H is adapted to the canonical filtration ofW . We give some sufficient analytic conditions on u which imply the invertibility of the map U . In particular it is shown that if u ∈ IDp,1(H) is adapted and if exp( 2‖∇u‖2 − δu) ∈ Lq(μ), where p−1 + q−1 = 1, then IW + u i...

Let (W,H,μ) be the classical Wiener space, assume that U = IW + u is an adapted perturbation of identity satisfying the Girsanov identity. Then, U is invertible if and only if the kinetic energy of u is equal to the relative entropy of the measure induced with the action of U on the Wiener measure μ, in other words U is invertible if and only if 1 2 ∫

The old Weyl's idea of scale recalibration freedom and the Infeld's and van der Waerden's (IW) ideas concerning geometrical interpretation of the natural spinor phase gauge symmetry are discussed in the context of modern models of fundamental particle interactions. It is argued that IW gauge symmetry can be naturaly identified with U (1) symmetry of Weinberg-Salam model. It is also argued that ...
متن کاملProcess - Oriented Model of Information Warfare
The evolution of Information Warfare (IW) concepts and doctrine has been considered in many publications.1,2,4 Our core concept is that IW concerns human activities and judgements performed as part of the Command and Control (C2) process. It is our view that C2 is a universal human activity and that it is the battlefield on which IW occurs. Our objective in this paper is to analyze the C2 proce...
