Internet Of Vehicles: Architecture, Applications, And Security Requirements Of Cognitive Radio Adhoc Vehicular Network, Sachin Sharma
Internet Of Vehicles: Architecture, Applications, And Security Requirements Of Cognitive Radio Adhoc Vehicular Network, Sachin Sharma
Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, the demand for spectrum has increased exponentially. Cognitive radio (CR) technology provides the capability to dynamically sense the spectrum for available channels, estimate them and select a good channel. This thesis introduces the concept of dynamic spectrum leasing methodology (DSLM), a paradigm based on game theoretic concepts. DSLM takes into account the demand for spectrum by secondary users and the willingness of primary users to relinquish spectrum in a restricted manner, making possible spectrum leasing as a long-term commercially viable concept. This thesis also introduces the notion of a Cognitive Radio Network Service Provider (CRNSP) and the …
Protecting Non-Public Information In Community Banks: A Study For Implementing Risk Based Framework For Protecting Non Public Personal Information, Bruce Lee Upton
Protecting Non-Public Information In Community Banks: A Study For Implementing Risk Based Framework For Protecting Non Public Personal Information, Bruce Lee Upton
Theses and Dissertations
In today’s world it seems that cyber hackers, cyber terrorists, and cyber activists make headlines almost every day. Information security has become a major concern for bankers from both a reputation and regulatory examination standpoint. Bank management is tasked to answer a litany of questions. Is my bank secure? What impact does this security have on productivity? What solutions are cost effective? What impact will a security breach have on my bank and respective customer base? Additionally, many bankers don’t have on-staff expertise to answer these questions. Having a framework where bankers can know how likely it is they will …
Investment Plan Against Malicious Attacks On Power Networks: Multilevel Game-Theoretic Models With Shared Cognition, Hamzeh Davarikia
Investment Plan Against Malicious Attacks On Power Networks: Multilevel Game-Theoretic Models With Shared Cognition, Hamzeh Davarikia
Theses and Dissertations
The work reported in this thesis aims at developing a practical tool for utility transmission planners to protect power network from potential attacks. To efficiently address the problem, we propose a new formulation for defender which has a promising result than its counterpart. Moreover, the optimum defending strategy in power network is modeled which return the best protecting strategy based on the defender resources. Going beyond the common approaches in literature, defender deception is mathematically formulated by releasing misinformation about his plan in the shared cognition based model. The problems are formulated as tri-level mixed-integer non-linear programming and exact linearization …

Driven by a growing requirement during the 21st century for the integration of rigorous statistical analyses in engineering research, there has been a movement within the statistics and quality communities to evolve a unified statistical engineering body of knowledge (Horel and Snee, 2010; Anderson-Cook, 2012). Outside of the 2014 Statistical Engineering Agreement among the ASQ Statistics Division, DOT&E, NASA, and IDA, there has been little formal progress toward this goal since the May 2011 NASA Symposium on Statistical Engineering in Williamsburg Virginia. In the ASEM-IAC 2012, Cotter (2012) identified the gaps in knowledge that statistical engineering needs to address, explored …

The commercial transport aircraft of today vary greatly from early aircraft in regards to how they are controlled and the feedback provided from the machine to the human operator. Automation has improved operational precision and efficiency but at the cost of providing less feedback. Pilots are the last line of defense and current technology cannot provide the human ability to solve novel problems for which no computer logic can be written. The automated cockpits of today have may sub-components that interact in a manner often opaque and unpredictable when a sensor or sub-component fails or even in situations where no …

The acquisition field continues to face increasing pressures to perform under conditions of escalating complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity. These conditions suggest that traditional approaches, practices, and acquisition technologies might be incongruent with support demands for acquisition practitioners. This research is focused on exploiting and extending recent developments in Complex System Governance (CSG) to advance the acquisition field. CSG is focused on the design, execution, and evolution of fundamental system functions necessary for control, communications, coordination, and integration of complex systems (e.g., acquisition). CSG is based in Systems Theory (fundamental laws governing complex systems), Management Cybernetics (the science of effective system …

This paper explores the issues related to systemic intervention for Complex System Governance (CSG) development. Systemic intervention seeks to intentionally engage a system to influence trajectory or outcomes. CSG is an emerging field focused on the design, execution, and evolution of the functions necessary to provide continued system performance (stability) in the midst of incessant turbulence and increasing complexity. Integral to this field is the necessity to ‘intervene’ in a complex system to enhance system behavior, structure, or performance. Arguably, system interventions have an unremarkable record of success, ranging from declared success in improving a situation (system) to abysmal failure …
