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，旨在召集旨在为以原则性方式平衡现有能力和感知的安全风险的资源分配决策奠定理论基础的研究人员。2018年GameSec为研究人员提供了一个宝贵的机会，让他们分享他们的结果，了解决策和博弈论在安全领域的应用的最新水平。它还将为博士生和硕士研究生提供一个独特的平台，学习这一领域的最新进展，并鼓励他们主动进行研究并取得更多成果。这一奖项是为支持学生参加这一重要活动而颁发的旅行津贴。本次会议的重点是基于博弈论、信息论、通信论、最优化理论、决策理论和控制理论的分析模型，这些理论应用于不同的安全主题。理论模型和现实世界安全问题之间的联系有助于在理论和实践之间建立一个反馈回路。这次会议有助于促进具有理论基础的“安全科学”。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
