An approach to incorporating uncertainty in network security analysis
… successful acquisition of privileges or data at critical assets. An attack graph edge corresponds to a vulnerability, tacitly assuming a connection exists and tacitly assuming the vulnerability is known to exist. In this thesis, we explore use of {\em uncertain graphs} to extend the paradigm to …

Models for stakeholder relationship management at socially controversial facilities
… of such large-scale projects. Many of these are critical assets and yet are often at risk of being shut down due to key stakeholder disengagement. It is a tragedy when a successful and needed project is terminated not because of technical, economic, or safety issues but due to a lack of proper …

Perceptions of college and career readiness among rural high school seniors
… findings suggest that community colleges can be critical assets toward filling gaps in opportunity that exist in rural contexts for the development of college and career readiness. Implications for theory and research include disrupting deficit frameworks of rural students and community colleges. …

System Dynamics Modeling and Analysis of Continuous Production Agility: Policies and Enablers for Resilient Satellite Constellations
… actors, the ability to deploy and sustain these critical assets on-orbit grows in importance. The traditional risk-adverse approach for space systems trended towards longer development cycles and highly optimized payload and bus designs, leading to high program costs. However, with the advent of …
