How Game Theory Can Be Viewed As A Conflict Resolution...

ABSTRACT: The Internet is an integral way of conducting daily business from government agencies to entertainers. Protection of attack, damage, or unauthorized access is necessary with the increase of mobile users, digital applications and data networks. A cyber security problem can be viewed as a conflict-resolution scenario that typically consists of a security system and at least two decision makers (e.g. attacker and defender) that can each have competing objectives. For instance, the defender may be interested in ensuring that the system performs at or above a certain acceptable level. The attacker’s objective may be to disrupt the system and degrade it. Game theory is a well-established tool that can be used to analyze such problems. In this work, we present a brief survey of how game theory can be used to find appropriate strategies for both the attacker and the administrator (defender). We model the interactions between them as a stochastic game. Various formulations of game theory will be presented to deal with different cyber security situations. We will present mathematical models of security systems to analyze the system’s performance and to predict the likely behavior of key decision makers that influence/control the system. 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper will be to provide a brief survey of stochastic game methods in cyber security. The fast development of this area explains the abundance of literature and models. Due to our specific emphasis, andShow MoreRelatedStochastic Game Models Within Cyber Security- A Survey1651 Words   |  7 PagesStochastic game models in cyber security- a survey Kandethody Ramachandran and Zheni Stefanova University of South Florida Department of Mathematics and Statistics Tampa, FL 33620-5700 Abstract The internet is an integral way of conducting daily business from government agencies to entertainers.

Looking at the interactionist view of conflict, some process and task conflicts can be seen as constructive and functional to employee performance. However the process conflict in this situation is impeding on work relationships leading to unproductivity. It is essential that a solution is made before workers become unhappy and lose motivation.

Because people gather in groups for reasons other than task accomplishment, group process occurs in other types of groups such as personal growth groups (e.g. encounter groups, study groups, prayer groups). In such cases, an individual with expertise in group process can be helpfulRead MoreThe Darfur Crisis Essay3078 Words   |  13 PagesIntroduction The â€Å"Responsibility to Protect† (R2P) is a concept that has its roots in the philosophy of â€Å"Human Security†. Human Security can be defined as focusing on the individual human being as the referent object of security as distinct from the nation-state. R2P and Human Security have gathered impetus in the international community both in academic and policy spheres with a view to these concepts being justifiers for humanitarian intervention. Taking realism as the securityRead MoreEssay about World of Board Games: Forbidden Island 1807 Words   |  8 PagesAs defined by the creators of the board game, the primary object of Forbidden Island is to, â€Å" . . . work together to keep Forbidden Island from sinking in order to buy enough time to capture its four treasures.

Introduction Industrial harmony has been viewed as an abstract concept. It is ideal and its existence is not felt in most organizations, as they are unstable and chaotic, resulting in tense working environment. This has been shown by the fact that most employers tend to believe they are the only ones who can be wronged. They overlook the fact that some of their practices could compromise relations with their employees. Management’s focus has been on the disciplinary
