A Lifecycle-Enhanced Time Sensitive Graph Model for Conflict Resolution in Technology Competition

Technology competition stands as a critical determinant of national ascendancy or decline. This paper proposes a Lifecycle-Enhanced Time Sensitive Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (LETS-GMCR) to analyze technology competition among great powers. The model defines technological structure as a temporal construct, with different decision-makers positioned in various stages of the technology lifecycle. The effective time is introduced model for evaluating unilateral moves (UMs) and unilateral improvements (UIs) and redefining stability definitions. Finally, A case study on technology competition of Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)-involving the U.S., Russia, China, and the EU-validates the feasibility and validity of the model.
