Abstract-Data about terrorist networks is sparse and not consistently tagged as desired for research. Moreover, such data collections are hard to come across, which makes it challenging to propose solutions for the dynamic phenomenon driving these networks. This creates the need for generative network models based on the existing data.Dark networks show different characteristics than the other scale-free real world networks, in order to maintain the covert nature while remaining functional. In this work, we present the analysis of the layers of three terrorist multilayered networks. Based on our analysis, we categorize these layers into two types: evolving and mature. We propose generative models to create synthetic dark layers of both types. The proposed models are validated using the available datasets and results show that they can be used to generate synthetic layers having properties similar to the original networks' layers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
