DEFENSE-ATTACK INTERACTION OVER OPTIMALLY DESIGNED DEFENSE SYSTEMS VIA GAMES AND RELIABILITY

Strategic defense and attack for series and parallel reliability systems

In the contest-theoretic literature on the attack and defense of networks of targets the focus has primarily been on pure-strategy equilibria. In a prominent class of these models, we show that for much of the parameter space examined pure-strategy equilibria do not exist. Therefore, all such “characterizations” of the pure-strategy equilibria over these parameter configurations are invalid. On...

Network Attack and Defense

Whoever thinks his problem can be solved using cryptography, doesn't understand his problem and doesn't understand cryptography. If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked. What's more, you deserve to be hacked. So far we've seen a large number of attacks against individual computers and other devices. But attacks increasingly depend on connectivity. Consider the f...

SEISMIC RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF OPTIMALLY DESIGNED STEEL CONCENTIRCALLY BRACED FRAMES

The main aim of this study, is to evaluate the seismic reliability of steel concentrically braced frame (SCBF) structures optimally designed in the context of performance-based design. The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method and neural network (NN) techniques were utilized to conduct the reliability analysis of the optimally designed SCBFs. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) trained by back propagati...
