Mathematical Modeling of Information Warfare - Status, Challenges and Future Trends

Information warfare is a new threat that has the potential to become a major global security problem in the future, particularly if the relationship between information and power strengthens. Information warfare will emerge as a national security threat in the next years, according to futures projections. The four scenarios examined provide plausible outcomes that provide early warning indicators of how knowledge warfare will emerge as a national security threat. Polarization is a big future issue in terms of utilizing conflict as a weapon of mass disruption. This paper will provide the status, challenges facing this important type of new warfare, and also concentrates on the future trends facing this important type of warfare
