DRAFT Do Not Distribute 12 th ICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” A Practical Framework to Ease Complexity Understanding

چکیده
To complement the traditional reductionism approaches, many C2 analysts and designers are now considering holistic and middle-out approaches that could better deal with the evergrowing complexity of modern command and control systems. In this article, four “complex conditions” (called modalities) are proposed for studying Complex Systems (CxS) and to characterize their evolution toward superior behaviors. Modalities address multiple features, properties, complex mechanisms that can be linked together into “interaction diagrams”, which help understand complex relationships in more holistic perspectives. They form the first version of a practical framework that is illustrated with the NATO C2 Network Centric Operation taxonomy. Acknowledgements The authors would like to express their gratitude to Mr. Guy Turcotte (DRDC-Val) and Mr. Clément Laforce (DTS-Pol) for their support in this work.

ICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” Security Metrics for Communication Systems
This report discusses the possibility of creating meaningful security metrics for communication systems. In particular, we examine security metrics from an axiomatic standpoint and prove that it is not possible to measure trust in an absolute sense. We do not conclude that it is impossible to create a secure communication system; rather we argue that it is impossible to detect the occurrence. W...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent model of human cardiac sodium channel
Cardiac sodium channels are integral membrane proteins whose structure is not known at atomic level yet and their molecular kinetics is still being studied through mathematical modeling. This study has focused on adapting an existing model of cardiac Na channel to analyze molecular kinetics of channels at 9-37°C. Irvine et al developed a Markov model for Na channel using Neuronal Network Model ...

A recent International Journal of Health Policy and Management (IJHPM) article by Fadi El-Jardali and colleagues makes an important contribution to the literature on health system strengthening by reporting on a survey of healthcare stakeholders in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) about Systems Thinking (ST). The study’s main contributions are its confirmation that healthcare stakeholde...
