NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec)

安全决策与博弈论会议（GameSec）成立于2010年，旨在汇集旨在以原则方式平衡可用能力和感知安全风险的资源分配决策的理论基础的研究人员。GameSec 2018为研究人员提供了一个宝贵的机会来分享他们的成果，并了解决策和博弈论在安全领域应用的最新进展。它还将为博士和硕士研究生提供一个独特的平台，以了解该领域的最新进展，并鼓励他们在研究中采取主动并产生更多成果。这个奖项是为学生提供旅费资助，以支持他们参加这个重要的活动。本次会议的重点是基于博弈、信息、通信、优化、决策和控制理论的分析模型，这些理论应用于各种安全主题。理论模型与现实世界安全问题之间的联系有助于建立理论与实践之间的反馈循环。会议有助于促进有理论基础的“安全科学”。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec), established in 2010, aims to bring together researchers who aim to establish a theoretical foundation for making resource allocation decisions that balance available capabilities and perceived security risks in a principled manner. GameSec 2018 presents a valuable opportunity for researchers to share their results and learn about the state of the art in the application of decision and game theory in security. It will also offer PhD and MS research students a unique platform to learn the recent advances in this area and encourage them to take initiatives in research and produce more results. This award is for travel grants to students to support their participation in this important event. This conference focuses on analytical models based on game, information, communication, optimization, decision, and control theories that are applied to diverse security topics. The connection between theoretical models and real world security problems help establish a feedback loop between theory and practice. The conference helps to promote a "science of security" with a theoretical foundation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
