The purpose of the DyNet project is to develop the equivalent of a flight simulator
for reasoning about dynamic networked organizations. Through a unique blending of
computer science, social networks and organization theory we are creating a new class
of tools for managing organizational dynamics. The core tool is DyNet - a reasoning
support tool for reasoning under varying levels of uncertainty about dynamic
networked and cellular organizations, their vulnerabilities, and their ability to
reconstitute themselves. Using DyNet the analyst would be able to see how the
networked organization was likely to evolve if left alone, how its performance could
be affected by various information warfare and isolation strategies, and how robust
those strategies were in the face of varying levels of information assurance.
