It is a well-known fact that today a nation's telecommunication networks, critical infrastructure, and information systems are vulnerable to growing number of attacks in cyberspace. Cyber space contains very different problems involving…
Due to their privileged position halfway between the physical and the cyber universes, user interfaces may play an important role in preventing, tolerating, and learning from scenarios potentially affecting mission safety and the user's…
Increased automation has created an impetus to integrate infrastructure with wide-spread connectivity in order to improve efficiency, sustainability, autonomy, and security. Nonetheless, this reliance on connectivity and the inevitability…
Cyberwar strategy and tactics today are primitive and ad-hoc, resulting in an ineffective and reactive cyber fighting force. A Cyberwar Playbook is an encoding of knowledge on how to effectively handle a variety of cyberwar situations. It…
Not a day goes by without news about a cyber attack. Fear spreads out and lots of wrong ideas circulate. This survey aims at showing how all these uncertainties about cyber can be transformed into manageable risk. After reviewing the main…
In this article we present the motivation and the core thesis towards the implementation of a Quantum Knowledge Seeking Agent (QKSA). QKSA is a general reinforcement learning agent that can be used to model classical and quantum dynamics.…
This study investigates First Responders' (FRs) attitudes toward the use of semantic information and Situational Awareness (SA) in robotic systems during emergency operations. A structured questionnaire was administered to 22 FRs across…
Revolution in the area of information technology has brought about changes in many spheres of life. Today, information systems are being used in very sensitive areas such as defence and missile control systems, nuclear plants, etc. Not only…
Our thesis is that operating in cyberspace is challenging because cyberspace exhibits extreme variety, high malleability, and extreme velocity. These properties make cyberspace largely inscrutable and limits one's agency in cyberspace,…
Nowadays, considering the speed of the processes and the amount of data used in cyber defense, it cannot be expected to have an effective defense by using only human power without the help of automation systems. However, for the effective…
In the shift towards human-centered manufacturing, our two-year longitudinal study investigates the real-world impact of deploying Cognitive Assistants (CAs) in factories. The CAs were designed to facilitate knowledge sharing among factory…
Cybersecurity decision-making increasingly occurs in environments characterized by uncertainty, partial observability, and adversarial manipulation, where heterogeneous signals from multiple sources are often incomplete, ambiguous, or…
The beauty of Information Technology (IT) is with its multifunction nature; it is a support system, a networking system, a storage system, as well as an information facilitator. Aided with their broad line of services, an IT system aims to…
The topic will focus on the U.S. Department of Defense strategy towards improving their network security defenses for the department and the steps they have taken at the agency level where components under DOD such as The Defense…
The behavioural theory of concurrent systems states that any concurrent system can be captured by a behaviourally equivalent concurrent Abstract State Machine (cASM). While the theory in general assumes shared locations, it remains valid,…
The number of active shooter incidents in the US has been increasing alarmingly. It is imperative for the government as well as the public to understand these events. Though both analytic and agent-based models have been proposed for…
Malicious cyber activity is ubiquitous and its harmful effects have dramatic and often irreversible impacts on society. Given the shortage of cybersecurity professionals, the ever-evolving adversary, the massive amounts of data which could…
This paper discusses the concept of cyber defence exercises -CDX- that are very important tool when it comes to enhancing the safety awareness of cyberspace, testing an organization's ability to put up resistance and respond to different…
Cities are changing constantly. All urban systems face different conditions from day to day. Even when averaged regularities can be found, urban systems will be more efficient if they can adapt to changes at the same temporal scales at…
Developing trustworthy multi-agent systems for practical applications is challenging due to the complicated communication of situational awareness (SA) among agents. This paper showcases a novel efficient and easy-to-use software framework…
