Minimizing Expected Attacking Cost in Networks
A branch-and-bound algorithm is devised to determine the optimal attack strategy to disconnect a network where the objective is to minimize the expected attacking cost. The attack...

Minimizing communication cost in a distributed Bayesian network using a decentralized MDP
In complex distributed applications, a problem is often decomposed into a set of subproblems that are distributed to multiple agents. We formulate this class of problems with a tw...

A mean-variance model for the minimum cost flow problem with stochastic arc costs
This paper considers a minimum cost flow problem where arc costs are uncertain, and the decision maker wishes to minimize both the expected flow cost and the variance of this co...

Efficient Minimum-Cost Network Hardening Via Exploit Dependency Graphs
In-depth analysis of network security vulnerability must consider attacker exploits not just in isolation, but also in combination. The general approach to this problem is to comp...

Adaptive Defense Against Various Network Attacks
In defending against various network attacks, such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or worm attacks, a defense system needs to deal with various network conditions a...
