Abstract
The objective of this work is to produce a method to assess the effects of information gathering and sharing across an information network on the quality of commands taken by a group of headquarters. The effect is measured mathematically in terms of the reduction in uncertainty about the information elements deemed critical to the commands to be taken at these headquarters. The more reports confirming information elements, the less uncertainty remains and the more knowledge is gained. In this case, we present the effects of collaboration among nodes on knowledge using entropy.
