Adaptive Gravitational Gossip In Monitoring The Joint Battlespace Infosphere, Edmund Descartes Aban
Adaptive Gravitational Gossip In Monitoring The Joint Battlespace Infosphere, Edmund Descartes Aban
Theses and Dissertations
Future USAF operations will be heavily dependent on having the "right information" at the "right time," and Joint Battlespace Infospheres (JBIs) are poised to fill that role. To do this, JBIs must be ubiquitous -- always accessible, secure and responsive. Of all the literature written regarding JBIs, the most important problem to solve in order to make JBIs work in mobile scenarios are scalability, reliability and adaptability to changing battlefield conditions. This paper explores the use of SBCast, a novel adaptive probabilistic protocol and a delivery mechanism for JBI updates and as a possible solution towards guaranteeing these qualities. It …
Use Of Thrust Vectors In Support Of The Cybercraft Initiative, Michael Stevens
Use Of Thrust Vectors In Support Of The Cybercraft Initiative, Michael Stevens
Theses and Dissertations
The CyberCraft Initiative is designing a framework for command and control of future Air Force Cyber-weapon systems, that autonomously operate and defend the Air Force networks and information systems to provide Cyberspace Superiority in support of the defense of the United States. The fundamental research question of the CyberCraft Initiative is "What is required for a commander to trust a CyberCraft to autonomously defend military information systems?" The Trust Vector model is one method of integrating trust into the CyberCraft fleet. Trust Vectors define trust and distrust between agents based on three components; current and historical data, intrinsic knowledge of …
