Conceptualizing Knowledge Friction
Dr. Paul Shigley, NIWC-PAC
This dissertation explores knowledge friction. The concept knowledge flow is defined by many researchers as the transfer of actionable information between individuals, groups and organizations. Knowledge Flow Theory (KFT) frames and offers tools for conceptualizing, analyzing, visualizing, and measuring knowledge flows. Recently, Nissen conceptualized explicitness-based resistance to knowledge transfer; he referred to it as knowledge friction. Read more.
Temporal Connectivity as a Measure of Robustness in NOMA Wireless Networks
Dr. Maj Benjamin Pimentel
The purpose of this research is to contribute to thetheoretical understanding of nonorthogonal multiple access
(NOMA) wireless networks and provide a model that informs
their practical design. This research is guided by the central question:
How does variable overloading affect robustness in
NOMA wireless networks?
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR, DR. ALEX BORDETSKY
Welcome to the Information Sciences Department at Naval Postgraduate School. We provide graduate education and research in information sciences, systems, and operations. We focus on the DoD information environment: Operational employment and exploitation of cyberspace in the context of Integrated Fires, IO/EW planning and execution in IF, Command and Control of IF, Enterprise Architecture, Network Management, Cloud Computing and Big Data Analysis.

Alumni Spotlight
"NPS has been invaluable...One of the things that everyone says, but you do not really appreciate until you go through the process, is that NPS helps you to develop a problem-solving thought process,” stressed Hermsdorfer. “By conducting my research and working my experiments, I have been able to develop a set of problem-solving skills that I will rely upon in the future."

Harnessing Dynamic Knowledge Principles in the Technology-Driven World
In a technology-driven world, it is essential that enterprises develop reliable and rapid flows of knowledge to distribute evenly across organizations, time and place, and individuals in order to sustain a competitive advantage. However, most leaders and managers are unacquainted with effective knowledge flow practices.
Measuring and Managing Knowledge
Measuring and Managing Knowledge provides a framework for managing and maximizing the return on intellectual capital. Like any emerging field, knowledge management has so far been hobbled by a lack of clarity on key questions: What do we mean by "knowledge"? How can it be measured and managed? How can return on knowledge (ROK) be maximized?
