From financial markets and healthcare systems to terrorist cells and online communities, modern networks operate with staggering complexity, resisting traditional analysis and obscuring their true objectives. Hidden Networks equips analysts, data scientists, strategists, and intelligence professionals with a revolutionary methodology to detect, decode, and influence these systems.
Drawing on advancements in machine learning, network science, behavioral fingerprinting, and game theory, Dr. Horen Kuecuekyan introduces a practical, cross-disciplinary framework to model multi-agent systems. You’ll learn to identify subgroups, visualize their interactions, map information flows, and simulate how agents adapt in dynamic environments.
This book is more than theory—it delivers actionable insights. Readers will gain tools to analyze decentralized coordination, spot covert patterns of influence, and leverage temporal network analytics to track evolving threats and opportunities. If you’re working with complex systems—from public policy to private sector intelligence—this guide transforms overwhelming data into meaningful foresight.
Inside, you’ll explore:
With detailed case studies on financial regulation, healthcare coordination, criminal networks, and transformation programs, Hidden Networks bridges the gap between high-level systems theory and operational practice.
Whether you’re analyzing influence operations, optimizing distributed systems, or predicting group behavior in volatile environments, this book delivers a robust, future-ready toolkit. You’ll walk away with a comprehensive understanding of how to model and interpret the collective behavior of independent actors—and why that matters more than ever in the 21st century.
Horen has a PhD in Math and Biochemistry and has worked as a scientist on many top-secret government projects, as well as for MCI WorldCom, Sensis (SAAB), and MSC. He has 24 patents, including two developed for the DoD. For artificial intelligence, he specializes in automated reasoning, analysis of deep nested networks, and logical and probabilistic inference. For biochemistry, he specializes in DNA quantum tunneling, specifically studying tunneling rates.
