Abstract
The Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) project will include a number of experiments over its lifetime. The initial experiment, described in this paper, was designed as an integration vehicle for the project's effort and as a baseline for future experiments. Motivated by issues that arose during initial field research, the first experiment addresses the question, "can tasks differ in coordination requirements in such a way that an organization structure with more layers is better for some tasks, while a structure with fewer layers is better for others?" The experiment was a 2x2 design, with two levels of organization structure (2-tier and 3-tier) and two levels of task structure (involving competition over internal and external assets, respectively). The experiment was conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School in March 1996 using the DDD-III, our tier-I simulation environment, with military officers as subjects. The scenario was abstracted from that used in A2C2 field research, and was modified to embed competitive operationalized the two levels of task structure described above. Dependent variables collected included various outcome measures, process measures, and self-report measures.
