Decision Theory-Guided Deep Reinforcement Learning for Fast Learning

Zelin Wan, Jin-Hee Cho, Mu Zhu +3

This paper introduces a novel approach, Decision Theory-guided Deep Reinforcement Learning (DT-guided DRL), to address the inherent cold start problem in DRL. By integrating decisi…

Honeypot Allocation for Cyber Deception in Dynamic Tactical Networks: A Game Theoretic Approach

Md Abu Sayed, Ahmed H. Anwar, Christopher Kiekintveld +1

Honeypots play a crucial role in implementing various cyber deception techniques as they possess the capability to divert attackers away from valuable assets. Careful strategic pla…

Cyber Deception against Zero-day Attacks: A Game Theoretic Approach

Md Abu Sayed, Ahmed H. Anwar, Christopher Kiekintveld +2

Reconnaissance activities precedent other attack steps in the cyber kill chain. Zero-day attacks exploit unknown vulnerabilities and give attackers the upper hand against conventio…

Game-Theoretic and Machine Learning-based Approaches for Defensive Deception: A Survey

Mu Zhu, Ahmed H. Anwar, Zelin Wan +3

Defensive deception is a promising approach for cyber defense. Via defensive deception, the defender can anticipate attacker actions; it can mislead or lure attacker, or hide real…

A Game-Theoretic Framework for the Virtual Machines Migration Timing Problem

Ahmed H. Anwar, George Atia, Mina Guirguis

In a multi-tenant cloud, a number of Virtual Machines (VMs) are collocated on the same physical machine to optimize performance, power consumption and maximize profit. This, howeve…

Effective Capacity of Cognitive Radio Links: Accessing Primary Feedback Erroneously

M. Majid Butt, Ahmed Anwar, Amr Mohamed +1

We study the performance of a cognitive system modeled by one secondary and one primary link and operating under statistical quality of service (QoS) delay constraints. We analyze…

Interference-Based Optimal Power-Efficient Access Scheme for Cognitive Radio Networks

Ahmed H. Anwar, Ahmed El Shafie, Amr Mohamed +2

In this paper, we propose a new optimization-based access strategy of multipacket reception (MPR) channel for multiple secondary users (SUs) accessing the primary user (PU) spectru…

Effective Capacity of Delay Constrained Cognitive Radio Links Exploiting Primary Feedback

Ahmed H. Anwar, Karim G. Seddik, Tamer ElBatt +1

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a secondary link in a cognitive radio (CR) system operating under statistical quality of service (QoS) delay constraints. In particular…
