Networks and Terrorism Ph.D. Projects

Efforts to support Ph.D. projects on intelligence gathering and information assurance:

• Impacts of information sharing and information assurance on performance of agencies faced with gaining information on a dynamic and deceptive group - Robert Behrman (Kathleen Carley, chair)
• NetEst
  A desktop computer investigative tool that estimates the size and structure of networked and cellular organizations from disparate data sources.
• Utilization of Bayesian updating and machine learning techniques to estimating the shape of hidden networks among people - Matthew Dombroski (chairs Paul Fishbeck and Kathleen Carley), paper won best student paper award in 2002 CASOS conference.
• VISTA
  A multi-agent tool that intelligence analysts can use to visualize the sudden, non-linear, emergent events, including attacks on the critical infrastructure, that can characterize asymetric threat operations in urban settings - Marcus Louie (chair Katheen Carley).
