Game theoretic approaches have recently been used to model the deterrence effect of patrol officers' assignments on opportunistic crimes in urban areas. One major challenge in this domain is modeling the behavior of opportunistic criminals. Compared to strategic attackers (such as terrorists)...

Contact tracing for COVID-19 is especially challenging because transmission often occurs in the absence of symptoms and because a purported 20% of cases cause 80% of infections, resulting in a small risk of infection for some contacts and a high risk for others. Here, we introduce risk-based...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great disruption to the service sector, which has in turn adapted by implementing measures that reduce physical distancing among employees and users; examples include home-office work and the setting of occupancy restrictions at indoor locations. The design of...

Network games can be used to model competitive situations in which agents select routes to minimize their cost. Common applications include traffic, telecommunication and distribution networks. Although traditional network models have assumed that realized costs only depend on congestion, in...

Network games can be used to model competitive situations in which players select routes to maximize their utility. Common applications include traffic, telecommunication and distribution networks. Although traditional network models have assumed that utilities only depend on congestion, in most...
