Abstract EN
Modeling organizational dynamics of terrorist network is a critical issue in computational analysis of terrorism research.
The first step for effective counterterrorism and strategic intervention is to investigate how the terrorists operate with the relational network and what affects the performance.
In this paper, we investigate the organizational dynamics by employing a computational experimentation methodology.
The hierarchical cellular network model and the organizational dynamics model are developed for modeling the hybrid relational structure and complex operational processes, respectively.
To intuitively elucidate this method, the agent based modeling is used to simulate the terrorist network and test the performance in diverse scenarios.
Based on the experimental results, we show how the changes of operational environments affect the development of terrorist organization in terms of its recovery and capacity to perform future tasks.
The potential strategies are also discussed, which can be used to restrain the activities of terrorists.
