Abstract :
This paper explores the application of network technologies to modelling the Search and Rescue (SAR) capability for the Canadian Arctic. Under the proposed approach, the SAR capability is viewed as a complex socio-technical system that comprises social and technological components from different environmental domains. The system is modelled as a set of inter-linked networks with embedded heterogeneous agents. Evolutionary computation is used to optimize the architecture of the network of Northern airports - one of the networks included in the SAR model. The proposed methodology is applicable to a variety of defence systems that involve large numbers of heterogeneous components.
