Abstract
The world we live in is a complex socio-technical system and systematically thinking about, representing, modeling and analyzing these systems has been made possible by social network analysis approach. A lot of groups or communities do exist in the society but the terrorist network has been taken for study in this paper because they consist of networks of individuals that span countries, continents, the economic status, and form around specific ideology. In this paper we present a survey to study the terrorist network using the criminal network analysis which is based on dynamic network analysis, destabilizing covert networks, counter terrorism, key player, subgroup detection and criminal network analysis in homeland security. This paper will also discuss various open problems in this area.
