This book follows the methodologies of complex adaptive systems research in their application to addressing the problems of terrorism, specifically terrorist networks, their structure and various methods of mapping and interdicting them as well as exploring the complex landscape of network-centric and irregular warfare. A variety of new models and approaches are presented here, including Dynamic Network Analysis, DIME/PMESII models, percolation models and emergent models of insurgency. In addition, the analysis is informed by practical experience, with analytical and policy guidance from authors who have served within the U.S. Department of Defense, the British Ministry of Defence as well as those who have served in a civilian capacity as advisors on terrorism and counter-terrorism.Understanding Complex Systems,1860-0832terrorismengEUROVOCregional securityengEUROVOCethnic conflictengEUROVOCsimulationengEUROVOCPhysicsSocial sciencesComputational complexityApplication softwareSystem safetyApplications of Graph Theory and Complex Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33010Methodology of the Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022Computer Appl. in Social and Behavioral Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23028Security Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31080terrorism.regional security.ethnic conflict.simulation.Physics.Social sciences.Computational complexity.Application software.System safety.Applications of Graph Theory and Complex Networks.Methodology of the Social Sciences.Complexity.Computer Appl. in Social and Behavioral Sciences.Security Science and Technology.363.325015118Fellman Philip Vosedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBar-Yam Yaneeredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMinai Ali Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300428603321Conflict and Complexity1773103UNINA
