A survey on analysis terrorist networks with complex networks

Abstract EN

Many researchers, after the terrorist attacks in 2001, have been looked for understand the functions and structures of terrorist networks.

This paper analyzes various techniques and methods proposed in this area and discuss how the complex network helps us to identify the important nodes in the terrorism network.

By use the standard social network analysis (SNA) measures such as (degree, betweenness, closeness) centrality, and apply techniques from different field such as game theory, Fuzzy Analytic Network method.

Furthermore, a little of research are focus on the how we can predict the terrorist threat, which is hard for uncertain or hidden information.

After analyzing the techniques and show the challenges in the terrorist network a proposal solution is made in conclusion Index Terms— Terrorist Network, Centrality measures, covered group, Social network analysis (SNA)
