Understanding Effects of Norms and Policies on the Robustness, Liveness, and Resilience of Systems - April 2015
Public Audience
Purpose: To highlight project progress. Information is generally at a higher level which is accessible to the interested public. All information contained in the report (regions 1-3) is a Government Deliverable/CDRL.
PI(s): Emily Berglund, Jon Doyle, Munindar Singh
Researchers: Hongying Du, Bennett Y. Narron, Nirav Ajmeri
HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED
- Policy-Governed Secure Collaboration - Norms provide a standard of correctness for collaborative behavior, with respect to which policies of the participants can be evaluated individually or in groups.
- Resilient Architectures - The study of robustness and resilience of systems modeled in terms of norms would provide a basis for understanding resilient social architectures.

ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS
- We have been extending our simulation framework to capture increasingly more natural assumptions regarding the behavior and motivations for users in an academic computing scenario and how they interact with each other.
