Project Description
This project seeks to understand the robustness of networks when it is attacked and how it can be defended. Both attack and defense parties have a budget to change the network (attributes on nodes/edges, edges) to maximize or limit their impact (spread of an idea, adoption of a product, degrading network performance). Some possible research questions: (a) how to simulate this as a game between two parties? (b) how to predict the future state of the network as the result of a perturbation? (c) what is the effect of each party’s budget on the final network state? (d) how should the parties spend their budget in a multi-round game/interaction?
