| 1.8. PROBLEM DEFINITION
The primary objective of this research is to expand data mining research, sociological, and behavioural theory relevant to the study of terrorist networks, thereby providing theoretical foundations for new and useful methodologies to analyze terrorist networks. For the purposes of this research, terrorist networks are those trying to hide their structures or are unwilling to provide evidence regarding their actions (Sparrow, 1991; Van Meter, 2002). |
1.2 Problem Definition
The overarching objective of this research is to expand operations research, sociological, and behavioral theory relevant to the study of social networks, thereby providing theoretical foundations for new and useful methodologies to analyze noncooperative organizations. [...] For the purposes of this research, non-cooperative organizations are those trying to hide their structures or are unwilling to provide information regarding their operations; [...] [cf., Sparrow, 1991; van Meter, 2002]. |

1.4 Research Objectives
The primary objective of this research is to develop the underlying theory and associated methodology used to generate and analyze courses of action that may be applied to networks of non-cooperative individuals. [...] Specific objectives of this research include: 1. Develop a new centrality-like measure, via extensions of several others in use, to screen networks for potential actors of interest. The theoretical bases that [page 10] make this measure more amenable to non-cooperative networks, advantages, and computational challenges are presented. |

| These measures could be useful for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to disrupt the effective operation and growth of these networks or destroy some terrorist cells entirely. Although these adversaries can be affected in a number of ways, this research focuses upon capturing / eradicating a terrorist organization’s most influential persons or finding susceptible points of entry and conveying information or influence that contribute to winning the war against terrorism. This chapter provides a summary of methodological and practical contributions of this dissertation as well as recommendations for areas of future research. | Such opportunities lie within the ability to disrupt the effective operation and

| In order to accomplish this, analysts must at minimum (1) improve the understanding why people would undertake such activities and mentally prepare to be used as human bombs; (2) identify vulnerabilities existing within these networks and how to exploit them; and, (3) determine what consequences may follow an operation to minimize the likelihood that actions executed unintentionally contribute to the environments that promote extremism. | In order to accomplish this, the appropriate communities must at a minimum
