TLDR
This paper focuses on protecting mobile targets that lead to a continuous set of strategies for the players, motivated by several real-world domains including protecting ferries with escorts and protecting refugee supply lines.Abstract:
Previous work on Stackelberg Security Games for scheduling security resources has mostly assumed that the targets are stationary relative to the defender and the attacker, leading to discrete game models with finite numbers of pure strategies. This paper in contrast focuses on protecting mobile targets that lead to a continuous set of strategies for the players. The problem is motivated by several real-world domains including protecting ferries with escorts and protecting refugee supply lines. Our contributions include: (i) a new game model for multiple mobile defender resources and moving targets with a discretized strategy space for the defender and a continuous strategy space for the attacker; (ii) an efficient linear-program-based solution that uses a compact representation for the defender's mixed strategy, while accurately modeling the attacker's continuous strategy using a novel sub-interval analysis method; (iii) a heuristic method of equilibrium refinement for improved robustness and (iv) detailed experimental analysis in the ferry protection domain.read more

TL;DR: PAWS's significant evolution from a proposed decision aid to a regularly deployed application is reported on, reporting on the lessons from the first tests in Africa in Spring 2014, through its continued evolution since then, to current regular use in Southeast Asia and plans for future worldwide deployment.

Information Disclosure as a Means to Security
TL;DR: This paper shows that SASI with a non-degenerate information disclosure can be arbitrarily more efficient, than a "silent" Stackelberg assets allocation, and provides a linear program reformulation of SASI that can be solved in polynomial time in SASI parameters.

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Green Security Games with Real-Time Information
TL;DR: This work designs a novel deep reinforcement learning-based algorithm, DeDOL, to compute a patrolling strategy that adapts to the real-time information against a best-responding attacker, and is the first attempt to use Deep Q-Learning for security games.

Security games with protection externalities
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that computing a strong Stackelberg equilibrium for an SPE is NP-hard, in contrast with traditional Stackellberg security games which can be solved in polynomial time.

An analysis of approximations for maximizing submodular set functions--I
TL;DR: It is shown that a “greedy” heuristic always produces a solution whose value is at least 1 −[(K − 1/K]K times the optimal value, which can be achieved for eachK and has a limiting value of (e − 1)/e, where e is the base of the natural logarithm.

An analysis of approximations for maximizing submodular set functions II
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of finding a maximum weight independent set in a matroid, where the elements of the matroid are colored and the items of the independent set can have no more than K colors.

OpenStreetMap: User-Generated Street Maps
Muki Haklay,Patrick Weber +1 more
TL;DR: The OpenStreetMap project is a knowledge collective that provides user-generated street maps that follow the peer production model that created Wikipedia; its aim is to create a set of map data that's free to use, editable, and licensed under new copyright schemes.
