Less is more in the fight against terrorism

Terrorist networks are complex. Now, a mathematical analysis of its characteristics published this month in International Journal of networks and virtual organizations, suggested that the best way to fight, is the hub from network, instead of trying to destroy to isolate the network as a whole on short-term battles.See: media in mind & BrainSocial PsychologyIntelligenceComputers & MathComputer ModelingComputer ProgrammingScience & SocietyConflictPrivacy IssuesReferenceLocal NetworkMathematical model computer SimulationStreaming area

According to Philip Vos Fellman Professor at Suffolk University, Boston, and a member of the Institute for complex systems of New England, USA tools that are used to analyze complex systems also can be used to study the terrorist networks to undermine.

Vos Fellman explains terrorist networks are "with typical structures in the study of the conflict in the sense that do not have several recyclable complexity and ambiguity levels."

"This complexity is exacerbated by the covert activities of terrorist networks, where key elements during longer can remain hidden, and the network itself is dynamic," adds Vos Fellman, expert in strategy and modeling which is matemática.La nature of a dynamic network similar to the Internet robust but contrasts with the structure of the armed forces or security of the homeland, which tend be centralized and hierarchical.

Vos Fellman has used network based on agent, landscapes of fitness NK Boolean attempt dynamic simulation analysis.In given the complexity of terrorist networks to understand, it focuses on how long-term operational and strategic planning could do, so they provide tactics that seem to avoid immediate if little long-term damage terrorist network impact cause.

Computer Vos Fellman terrorist network simulations suggest that isolation, instead of reducing could be key to successfully defeat.

"" "" "Results that this simulation and dynamic systems are the modeling tools to recommend that literally, sometimes less is more, says Vos Fellman", and the operational objectives could be better oriented isolation instead of remove ".auch should evidence that simulations that show smooth or simple, small cells within a network objectives for the most part, not worth perseguir.En instead efforts are to focus the hub to the network depends.""If you focus on the important questions focused, then says the opportunity cost considerations suggest that it would be best to do, nothing, rather than spending valuable resources in exercises that doomed."
