Force Multiplier for Intelligence: Collaborative Open Source Networks: The once seamless relationship between the intelligence community, academia, and the private sector seriously deteriorated at the end of the Cold War. Early in the twenty-first century, in the post-9/11 environment, these links appeared headed for a renaissance of sorts—and drastic reform.Radical expansion and modernization of open source exploitation is a strategic reform of great importance to the intelligence community. Legacy security rules on outreach to nongovernmental experts are distinctly incompatible with knowledge building—and knowledge sharing—in the information age. Publicly available open source intelligence is frequently undervalued and underutilized. Yet there is now scarcely a subject where it doesn’t provide significant context and a baseline of knowledge. Open source information thus plays a key role in intelligence work by cueing valuable collection and analysis resources and in bringing into sharper focus the problem at hand: http://www.csis.org/component/option,com_csis_pubs/task,view/id,3980/type,1/

Linked: The New Science of Networks By Albert-László Barabási
A cocktail party. A terrorist cell. Ancient bacteria. An international conglomerate. All are networks, and all are a part of a surprising scientific revolution. Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, the nations foremost expert in the new science of networks, takes us on an intellectual adventure to prove that social networks, corporations, and living organisms are more similar than previoulsy thought. Grasping a full understanding of network science, will someday allow us to design blue chip businesses, stop the outbreak of deadly diseases, and influence the exchange of ideas and information. Just as James Gleick brought the discovery of the Chaos theory to the general public, Linked tells the story of the true science of the future.
