Abstract:

Network Interdiction-problem innehåller två mot varandra stående styrkor, en användare och en angripare, somär inbegripna i en krigsliknande konflikt. Användaren använder ett nätverk för att optimera en funktion, t.ex.att förflytta en underhållskonvoj så snabbt som möjligt, eller maximera mängden materiel som transporterasgenom nätverket. Det innebär att användaren vill använda den kortaste eller snabbaste vägen vid transporter,och han vill maximera flödet genom nätverket. Nätverket kan t.ex. vara ett vägnät, kraftförsörjningsnät eller ettdatornätverk. Angriparen försöker begränsa användarens

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University<br>Network interdiction problems consist of games between an attacker and an intelligent network, where the attacker seeks to degrade network operations while the network adapts its operations to counteract the effects of the attacker. This problem has received significant attention in recent years due to its relevance to military problems and network security. When the attacker's actions achieve uncertain effects, the resulting problems become stochastic network interdiction problems. In this thesis, we develop new algorithms for the solutions of different cl

Abstract:

We study the K-group network-interdiction problem (KNIP) in which a "network user" attempts to maximize flow among K >/= 3 "node groups", while an "interdictor" interdicts (destroys) network arcs, using limited interdiction resources, to minimize this maximum flow. We develop two models to solve or approximately solve KNIP. The multi-partition network-interdiction model (MPNIM) is an approximating model. It partitions the node set N into K different subsets, each containing one prespecified node group, and interdicts arcs using limited resources so that the total capacity of uninterdicted arcs

Abstract:

In this paper, we concentrate on computing several critical budgets for interdiction of the multicommodity network flows, and studying the interdiction effects of the changes on budget. More specifically, we first propose general interdiction models of the multicommodity flow problem, with consideration of both node and arc removals and decrease of their capacities. Then, to perform the vulnerability analysis of networks, we define the function F(R) as the minimum amount of unsatisfied demands in the resulted network after worst-case interdiction with budget R. Specifically, we study the prope

Abstract:

This thesis describes a stochastic, network interdiction optimization model to guide defensive, counter-air (DCA) operations planning. We model a layered, integrated air-defense system, which consists of fighter and missile engagement zones. We extend an existing two-stage, stochastic, generalized-network interdiction model by Pan, Charlton and Morton, and adapt it to DCA operations planning. The extension allows us to handle multiple-type interdiction assets, and constrain the attacker's flight path by the maximum allowable traveled distance. The defender selects the locations to install mult

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses five fundamental resource allocation problems on networks, all of which have applications to support Homeland Security or industry challenges. In the first application, we model and solve the strategic problem of minimizing the expected loss inflicted by a hostile terrorist organization. An appropriate allocation of certain capability-related, intent-related, vulnerability-related, and consequence-related resources is used to reduce the probabilities of success in the respective attack-related actions, and to ameliorate losses in case of a successful attack.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>This research intends to improve information dominance in the maritime domain by optimizing tactical mobile ad hoc network (MANET) systems for wireless sharing of biometric data in maritime interdiction operations (MIO). Current methods for sharing biometric data in MIO are unnecessarily slow and do not leverage wireless networks at the tactical edge to maximize information dominance. Field experiments allow students to test wireless MANETs at the tactical edge. Analysis is focused on determining optimal MANET design and implementation.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>To interdict dark networks and prevent terrorist attacks, security forces require consistent access to relevant intelligence and targeting data. Dark networks often react to a security force’s targeting pressure by obscuring their activities and becoming increasingly covert. Network adaptation to targeting pressure can frequently lead to intelligence gaps and lulls in targeting that may be both predictable and preventable if identified early. This study will examine the efficacy of the two prevailing modes of targeting and their impact

In this dissertation we focus on two main topics. Under the first topic, we develop a new framework for stochastic network interdiction problem to address ambiguity in the defender risk preferences. The second topic is dedicated to computational studies of two-stage stochastic integer programs. More specifically, we consider two cases. First, we develop some solution methods for two-stage stochastic integer programs with continuous recourse; second, we study some computational strategies for two-stage stochastic integer programs with integer recourse. We study a class of stochastic network

Abstract:

Robust communications are key to the success of naval operations such as area surveillance, control, and interdiction. Communication and sensor networks allow the flow of data and critical information that is necessary for conducting an operation from both the tactical and strategic perspectives. In naval operations, the platforms are hardly stationary, as the networking infrastructure operates from a variety of platforms in motion on the sea, above the sea, and from space, in the case of satellite support. Sensor networks consist of nodes made up of small sensors that are able to monitor, pro

Abstract:

The goal of a network interdiction problem is to model competitive decision-making between two parties with opposing goals. The simplest interdiction problem is a bilevel model consisting of an 'adversary' and an interdictor. In this setting, the interdictor first expends resources to optimally disrupt the network operations of the adversary. The adversary subsequently optimizes in the residual interdicted network. In particular, this dissertation considers an interdiction problem in which the interdictor places radiation detectors on a transportation network in order to minimize the probabili

We describe a stochastic network interdiction problem in which an interdictor, subject to limited resources, installs radiation detectors at border checkpoints in a transportation network in order to minimize the probability that a smuggler of nuclear material can traverse the residual network undetected. The problems are stochastic because the smuggler's origin-destination pair, the mass and type of material being smuggled, and the level of shielding are known only through a probability distribution when the detectors are installed. We consider three variants of the problem. The first is a St

The illegal trade of wildlife is one of the greatest threats to the survival of many species. Pangolins are claimed to be the most heavily trafficked wild mammals in the world. There is a huge demand for their scales and meat in traditional medicines and food. Wildlife products are trafficked across the world to meet such demands. Smugglers are able to choose the route they take to move these commodities across international borders. Biosecurity resources are placed at ports of entry to intercept smugglers.
