Kathleen M. Carley - International Mathematics could be anti-terror tool United Press International | July 13 "The area has exploded, in terms of the types of techniques and technologies," says computer scientist Kathleen Carley of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "There are huge, rapid advances in this area with, of course, some very interesting challenges," she says. Other researchers are seeking simple mathematical formulas that could describe the optimal arrangement of a secret terrorist cell and provide clues on how to destroy it. "If you have a mathematical model that can describe the structure of a terror network -- and the model works -- then you can predict the future," says Alexander Gutfraind, a mathematician at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2010/07/13/UPI-NewsTrack-Health-and-Science-News/UPI-14841279057914/

June 2010 CASOS hosts the 10th annual CASOS Summer Institute. Over the past decade over 400 individuals from academia, government, industry, the military and foreign scholars have been trained in the science of networks - how to extract networks from texts, how to analyze social, communication, activity, semantic and other networks, and how to simulation change and adaptation in these networks.
