Validation of the recognition-primed decision model and the roles of common-sense strategies in an adversarial environment
… decision processes used by decision makers in adversarial environment by setting up an adversarial decision making microworld, as an experimental platform, using a real time strategy (RTS) game called Rise of Nations (RON). The specific objectives of this dissertation were: 1.Contribute to the …

Correlates of Denial: Exploring the Function of Denial Among Men Who Commit Sexual Offences Against Children
… to reoffend or as an adaptive response in an adversarial environment. To better understand how and when denial may be related to risk, its function must first be understood. The current study examined the association between denial and factors indicating denial as a risk factor or as an …

Attack and Defense with Hardware-Aided Security
… in both academic research and production environment. With the continuing widespread of malicious software and new vulnerabilities revealing every day, protecting the heterogeneous computing systems across the Internet has become a daunting task. Our approach to this challenge consists of …

ENSURING SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE, ROBUSTNESS, AND SECURITY OF WIRELESS NETWORK PROTOCOLS
… by the compromised nodes in an adversarial environment can limit the practical utility of the implementation by impairing the performance of the protocol and can even have detrimental effects on the availability of the network. Even having a compliant and robust implementation …

Secure Time-Aware Provenance for Distributed Systems
… system state at a given time in a potentially adversarial environment. This dissertation makes the following contributions. First, we propose the STAP model, to explicitly represent time and state changes. The STAP model allows consistent and complete explanations of system state (and changes) …

No-Regret Learning in General Games
… algorithms in the competitive, though not fully-adversarial, environment of games. We establish exponential improvements on previously best-known external and internal regret bounds for these settings. We show that Optimistic Hedge – a common variant of multiplicative-weights-updates with recency …

Adaptive optimization problems under uncertainty with limited feedback
… on the outcomes of alternatives when the environment is not perfectly known in advance and may react to past decisions. Depending on the setting, we take either a worst-case approach, which protects against a fully adversarial environment, or a hindsight approach, which adapts to the level …
