Distorted Risk Measures with Application to Military Capability Shortfalls'

We consider the problem of selecting an appropriate distortion function and associated parameters to account for rare but catastrophic events that may result from a shortfall of military or security capabilities. Additionally, we describe the means by which a decision maker may allocate resources, subject to a finite budget constraint, while considering the impact of the risk of such shortfalls...

Modeling and Optimizing Military Air Operation

Dynamic programming has recently received significant attention as a possible technology for formulating control commands for decision makers in an extended complex enterprise that involves adversarial behavior. Enterprises of this type are typically modeled by a nonlinear discrete time dynamic system. The state is controlled by two decision makers, each with a different objective function and ...

Analysing Web Ontology in Alloy: A Military Case Study

Correctness is the essential requirement criteria for military web ontology based information systems. Reasoning and consistency checking can be useful at many stages during the design, maintenance and deployment of Semantic Web (SW) ontology. Formal methods can provide automatic reasoning and consistency checking services for SW. In this paper, we use military plan ontology as a case study to ...
