In the face of increasingly prominent cyber security issues, the organization of cyber team analysts has become crucial to thwart cyber threats. Few studies have examined the functioning of the team and the interaction between individuals in a cyber defense context and how the context influences team adaptation. The present study investigates team cognition in a cyber defense context and in particular the nature of task- or team-centered communication among analysts during a cyber defense simulation exercise. Results indicate that markers of situation assessment and shared mental models are both strategically present and linked. Nevertheless, the frequency of these markers varies depending on the quantity and quality of problems encountered; in particular, variations in social support behaviors are observed. Decreasing social support behaviors during high level activities suggests the adaptation of social behaviors depending on the threats and attacks on the system. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in terms of theories and potential consequences for strategic adaptation and team resilience.
Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is an important topic in the field of artificial intelligence,in which distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) algorithms have been widely used to coordinate the actions of multiple agents.However,dense communication among agents affects the practicability of DCOP algorithms.In this paper,we propose a novel DCOP algorithm dealing with the previous DCOP algorithms' communication problem by reducing constraints.The contributions of this paper are primarily threefold:① It is proved that removing constraints can effectively reduce the communication burden of DCOP algorithms.② An criterion is provided to identify insignificant constraints whose elimination doesn't have a great impact on the performance of the whole system.③ A constraint-reduced DCOP algorithm is proposed by adopting a variant of spectral clustering algorithm to detect and eliminate the insignificant constraints.Our algorithm reduces the communication burdern of the benchmark DCOP algorithm while keeping its overall performance unaffected.The performance of constraint-reduced DCOP algorithm is evaluated on four configurations of cooperative sensor networks.The effectiveness of communication reduction is also verified by comparisons between the constraint-reduced DCOP and the benchmark DCOP. 相似文献
The structure parameters in an actual industrial production have a great influence on the coefficient of supercharger floating bearing dynamic characteristics,but there has been little systematic study so far. In this paper, the influence of structural parameters of the turbocharger floating bearing on its dynamic characteristic coefficientsis systematically investigated based on the theories of hydrodynamic lubrication and tribology. The influence of clearance ratio on eccentricity and the influence of internal to external radius ratios, and Sommerfeld number were analyzed.A new formula of responding characteristics of the oil film force caused by the displacement or velocity disturbance was deduced near an equilibrium in the steady state. Applying the newly developed formula, the dynamic characteristic was studied for floating bearings. Regularity for change of oil film stiffness and damping was analyzed with the structural parameters of floating bearing such as radius ratios and eccentricity.It has been found that the clearance ratio increases with eccentricity when the radius ratio is unchanged.The eccentricity decreases with the internal to external radius ratio of floating rings when the clearance ratio is constant.The absolute value of total principal stiffness and total main damping decrease with the clearance ratio and radius ratio of floating rings when the total cross damping is stable. The results and findings in this paper can contribute to nonlinear dynamics designs of turbocharger rotor-bearing systems. 相似文献
