Description: The U.S. Navy has published its vision of the future in Command, Control, Communications, Computers,      and Intelligence (C4I): Copernicus. Copernicus takes advantage of new technology and attempts to      answer the demand for larger amounts of more timely information. Despite the advances in technology,      new transmission methods and increased bandwidth, the U.S. Navy still does not have all the      communications throughput that it desires. The author examines message prioritization algorithms as a way      of making more efficient use of scarce communications resources. Through a simple communications node      model and two algorithms, it is statistically proven that prioritization algorithms can improve the efficiency      of a communication system.
