Maritime piracy and robbery can not only cause logistics chain disruption leading to
economic consequences but also result in loss of lives, and short-and long-term health …

Attacker-Defender Stackelberg security games (SSGs) have emerged as an important
research area in multi-agent systems. However, existing SSGs models yield fixed, static …

A generative model for modelling maritime vessel behaviour is proposed. The model is a
novel variant of the dynamic Bayesian network (DBN). The proposed DBN is in the form of a …

Thanks to the advent of new technologies and higher real-time computational capabilities,
the use of unmanned vehicles in the marine domain has received a significant boost in the …

Contemporary maritime piracy presents a significant threat to the global ship** industry,
with annual costs estimated at up to US $12 bn. To address the threat, commanders and …

Despite their use for modeling traffic in ports and regional waters, multi-agent simulations
have not yet been applied to model maritime traffic on a global scale. We therefore propose …

This paper suggests a new approach for repeated Stackelberg security games (SSGs)
based on manipulation. Manipulation is a strategy interpreted by the Machiavellianism …

Stackelberg security games form the backbone of systems like ARMOR, IRIS and PROTECT,
which are in regular use by the Los Angeles International Police, US Federal Air Marshal …

A unified Bayesian model that simultaneously performs behavioural modelling, information
fusion and classification is presented. The model is expressed in the form of a dynamic …

Multi-agent teamwork and defender-attacker security games are two areas that are currently
receiving significant attention within multi-agent systems research. Unfortunately, despite the …
