They've Still Got 'Game'

Work from PNNL's Asymmetric Resilient Cybersecurity initiative gets the 'SIAM News' spotlight

Thanks to a team from PNNL’s National Security and Physical and Computational Sciences directorates, the current issue of SIAM News is giving readers a closer look at how game theory and uncertainty quantification are increasingly being applied to cyber defense applications.
