Description
Summary:Network science has recently received a considerable amount of attention from the military and research communities. In this paper we analyze two military scenarios from a network science perspective. We discuss the pros and cons of problem solving for these scenarios using the current fragmented approach versus applying a unified view across three domains: social/cognitive, information, and communication. We perform a step by step evaluation of each scenario. At each stage we present and compare existing solutions with those provided by network science based approaches available through future advances in basic and applied network science research. Our goal is to highlight advantages and challenges in network science research by way of example.
