Operational system model based on social network analysis and simulation

To assess the combating performance of complex operational system dynamically, and to fix quantify various performance parameters of system, a evolving topological model based on the interacting and non-linear priority growth of new nodes and internal edges which substitutes real military system and the dynamic development has been abstracted, with reference to social network an complex network theory, such as Transit-Stub model based on hierarchical structure, BA model based on the degree of node, GLP and PFP models and multi-local world model. And this model was established and simulated by MATLAB software according to various rules defined in model. Many topological properties are discussed after evolving with different conditions and time. Finally, evolvement process of system´s characters is acquainted and applied to the practice of military construction. By analytical-numerical method and experimental simulation, it draws the conclusion that operational system is a scale free network while the feature of small world is unobvious. This may because the military is a well-organized system, and has a stronger self-adapting power compared with Internet.
