Abstract
We introduce the concept of network decision support systems (NWDSS), emerging
through collaboration and ad hoc mobile mesh networking of humans and unmanned
devices . We enumerate the properties of NWDSS networking, and then, following [1]
propose a "Sense-Analyze-Adapt-Memory" conceptual framework for characterizing
NWDSS as a unique network of decision support hubs, bridges, and routers , and identify
research issues that this model suggests. Our conceptual framework is a tri-partite model
of mobile infrastructure to capture the mobile physical network dimension of NWDSS
network, transactive memory networking as a means of representing the knowledge
network, knowledge mesh and associated knowledge flow in decision networks, and
emergent decision-making to embrace manned-unmanned network unscripted
collaboration. We believe the precepts of NWDSS are generalizable to a wide range of the
Internet of Things (loT) applications, and that NWDSS should thus be considered a unique
and important new type network, in which the new roles for human hubs, bridges, and
routers emerge.
