Back to Reality: Cross Domain Deterrence and Cyberspace

Constructing Cyberspace: Virtual Reality and Hypermedia

Large-scale, distributed hypermedia information systems allow fast, structured access to very large, dynamic information bases. The highly perceptual nature of a virtual reality interface has the power to take users both inside information and inside its structure. Combining the two takes us a step towards cyberspace, William Gibson's vision of a virtual model of all the world's interconnected ...

Rethinking the Cyber Domain and Deterrence

Back to Reality: Crossing the Reality Gap in Evolutionary Robotics

In this work a new method to evolutionary robotics is proposed, it combines into a single framework, learning from reality and simulations. An illusory sub-system is incorporated as an integral part of an autonomous system. The adaptation of the illusory system results from minimizing differences of robot behavior evaluations in reality and in simulations. Behavior guides the illusory adaptatio...

Deterrence Theory — A Doable Reality or a Hopeless Cause?

In pursuing the above goal, Deterring Terrorism is part of a post-9-11 progression in thought. The initial belief was that terrorist organizations were irrational and therefore undeterrable. This assumption then had a direct impact on counterterrorism policy, which first privileged prevention, preemptive force and eradication over deterrence. This initial paradigm of terror, however, did not la...
