To facilitate trade, agents join clubs (networks) that compile and secure data. Too much data collection and too little security arise in equilibrium with noncooperative networks compared with the e...

The Conceptual Space model is adapted to represent information about potential intrusive activity. In order to more easily provide for decisions regarding assessment of intrusive behavior, we incorporate superellipsoids into our adapted conceptual space model. Brief comments regarding conceptua...

We develop a case breach model for the on-board fault diagnostics and prognostics system for subscale solid-rocket boosters (SRBs). The model development was motivated by recent ground firing tests, in which a deviation of measured time-traces from the predicted time-series was observed. A modified model takes into account the nozzle ablation, including the effect of roughness of the nozzle sur...
