Background

• SAS-065 has developed a C2 Maturity Model for NATO Network Enabled Capability

• SAS-065 is engaged in a variety of activities to “validate” this model– Case studies: Analysis of historical complex endeavors to

establish construct validity– Analysis of Experimentation Data to test a set of maturity model

hypotheses

• ELICIT is an experimentation platform that instruments the actions of a group of participants engaged in a situational awareness problem

• ELICIT experiments have explored differences between “edge” and “hierarchical” organizations

4

ELICIT Scenario

• The goal of each set of participants is to build situational awareness and identify the who, what, when, and where of a pending attack– Participants can share factoids directly with each other or post factoids to

websites

– Participants build awareness by gathering and analyzing factoids and interacting with one another

– No one is given sufficient information to solve their assigned problem without receiving information from others

• The receiving, sharing, and posting of factoids and the nature of the interactions between and among participants can be constrained

• C2 approach for this series of experiments were designated prior to the start of the run asHierarchy or Edge

Hierarchy

Edge

5

Hypotheses

• “Hierarchical” organizations as instantiated in ELICIT experiments correspond to De-Conflicted C2 in the NATO C2 Maturity Model

• “Edge” organizations as instantiated in ELICIT experiments correspond to a higher level of maturity in the NATO C2 Maturity Model

• Hypotheses: – Edge organizations exhibit the behaviors associated with

Coordinated and Collaborative levels of C2 Maturity

– Hierarchical organizations exhibit the behaviors associated with the De-conflicted level of C2 Maturity

– Edge organizations exhibit higher levels of effectiveness and efficiency than Hierarchical organizations

6

ELICIT Data Set

• Includes data from 37 ELICIT experimentation trials

• Venues– Boston Univ. (2 runs)

– NPS (16 runs)

– Portugal (6 runs)

– USMA (3 runs)

– Singapore (10 runs)

• Organization Types – 18 Edge

– 19 Hierarchy

Dependent Variables

• MOE = Quality of Awareness and Shared Awareness– Correctness (Authorized Correct IDs)

– Timeliness (Person-Minutes with Correct IDs)

– Accuracy rate (Correct IDs/Total IDs)

• Efficiency, Given Effectiveness– Productivity (Correct IDs/Total Actions; Correct IDs/Person-

Minutes Available)

– Speed (Time of Earliest Correct ID)

• Agility– Effectiveness over problem difficulty

10

C2 Approach Independent Variables

• Hierarchy v. Edge– We expect Hierarchy to map to De-conflicted and Edge to map to

a more mature level

– Each run will be mapped to a point in the C2 Approach Space based on observed behaviors

• Rules of Interaction– Website access

– Sharing permissions

• Initial Distribution of Factoids – Invariant in existing runs

11

C2 Approach Intervening Variables

• Patterns of Interaction – Characteristic path length

– Clustering coefficient

– Connectedness

• Distribution of Information– The average number of unique facts to which each participant has

access as a function of time

12

Measures of C2 Effectiveness (MOCE)

• Quality of Information Position– Percentage of relevant facts for the assigned task that a participant

can access as a function of time

– Percentage of key facts for the assigned task that a participant can access as a function of time

• Extent of Shared Information– The average number of participants that have access to each fact as

a function of time

– The average number of participants that have access to each key fact as a function of time

13

Intervening Behavioral Variables

• Activity over time (sharing, website posts, website pulls, ID attempts)– Sharing

• Peer-to-peer sharing

• Posting

– Information Seeking

• Pulling

– Identification Attempts

14

Other Independent Variables

• IDs allowed• ELICIT experience of the player• Factoid set (problem difficulty)• Translated factoids v. original• Native Language (English v. Other)• Communications media

– Postcards– Chat

• Time available• Degree of Education (Graduate, Undergraduate)• Seniority (Rank)• Subcultures (Military, Civilian, Special Forces, Civil

Servants)

Measuring Timeliness:Person-Minutes with Correct ID

• In the ELICIT scenario, operational value is associated both with the number of participants achieving the correct answer, as well as when they achieved it

• Person minutes with correct ID captures the proportion of possible situational understanding achieved by trial participants over the time of the trial– For each minute, each participant’s level of understanding is assessed

by the score assigned to his/her most recent identification attempt– This value is summed over the duration of the trial to arrive at the

person-minutes correct for each participant– Person-minutes correct for the trial is calculated by summing over all

participants– A ratio of the person minutes correct for the trial to the total person

minutes available in the trial adjusts for varying trial lengths

• Patterns of Interaction – Characteristic path length

– Clustering coefficient

– Connectedness

• Distribution of Information– The average number of unique facts to which each participant has

access as a function of time

Measures of C2 Effectiveness

• Quality of Information Position– Percentage of relevant facts for the assigned task that a participant

can access as a function of time

– Percentage of key facts for the assigned task that a participant can access as a function of time

• Extent of Shared Information– The average number of participants that have access to each fact as

a function of time

– The average number of participants that have access to each key fact as a function of time

Summary of Findings

• Edge structures exhibit more mature behaviors than Hierarchical structures– Distribution of Information– Quality of Information Position– Extent of Shared Information– Information Seeking (Pulling)

• Edge structures are more effective than Hierarchical structures– Correctness– Timeliness– Accuracy Rate

• Edge structures are generally more efficient than Hierarchical structures– Productivity (Person-Minutes)– Productivity (Actions) – at 90% level– Speed – at 90% level

• Edge structures are more agile than Hierarchical structures– Effectiveness over Problem Difficulty

55

Agenda

• Background

• Available Data

• Analysis Plan

• Results of Analyses

• Conclusions

56

Conclusion

• The data are consistent with the NATO C2 Maturity Model assumptions and hypotheses

• Additional analyses still underway– Extraction and analysis of network metrics

– Bivariate and multivariate analyses
