UML modelling of network warfare examples

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to clarify the concept of Network Warfare by looking at a typical example that illustrates both the exploitation and protection of information using various aspects of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). By using Unified Modelling Language (UML), the various role players, types of activities and sequences of actions can be represented in an illustrative format. This approach aims to elucidate Network Warfare in a more practical manner. The paper thus deals with four main issues that provide a motivation for modelling, an introduction to the models, the use case collaboration diagram and the sequence diagram of a typical example. The overall goal is to clarify the theoretical field of Network Warfare in a more practical manner.
