Use of Degree Centrality Principle in Deciding the Future Leader of the Terrorist Network
Keywords:
Terrorist Network, Social Network Analysis, Centrality Principles, Degree, Role AnalysisAbstract
Terrorist activities are becoming is a World-wide phenomena, increasing the need of sophisticated tools to sharpen counter-terror activities. Internet is practically flooded with the information related to terrorist attacks but getting useful, relevant and precise information still appears to be a difficult task. Information related to terrorist is gathered with sophisticated tools, are useful only if appropriate analyzing is done. Social Network Analysis is used all-round the World to analyze such information. This article emphasis on the degree centrality principle; a graph theoretic concept, to understand such covert networks. Studies suggest that degree centrality is indication of importance of the node in the network. In this article degree of terrorist networks in Jammu and Kashmir is calculated and interpreted. In the end this paper shows the correlation of different centrality principles with each other.
