Adversarial and Stochastic Elements in Autonomous Systems
This site is dedicated to issues related to both stochastic and adversarial inputs in autonomous systems. In addition, the emphasis is on defense applications. Both classes of inputs may appear in the observation process
and in the dynamics. Further, when the system is networked, one can expect these inputs in the communication links as well.
This
introductory document
outlines some of the basic issues under consideration.
A small workshop was held in Arlington, VA, USA on March 23-24, 2009.
Much deep thought (some components of which were more successful than others) went into the discussions and presentations.
Some presentations follow.
