As information systems become ever more complex and the interdependence of these systems increases, a mission-critical system should have the fightthrough ability to sustain damage yet survive with mission assurance in cyberspace. To satisfy this requirement, in this paper we propose a game theoretic approach to binary voting with a weighted majority to aggregate observations among replicated n...

Space operations involve the control of complex technical equipment in highly dynamic and unknown environments. This is a challenging task for human operators. To facilitate this task, mission-critical software systems need to be able to truly engage in joint activities with their human operators; i.e. these systems need to be designed for interdependence with the operators. A key aspect of und...

I have great news for our readers, authors, reviewers and co-editors. We have finally succeeded in being included to PUBMED Central. This means that all articles published starting with the first issue of Dermatology Practical & Conceptual will appear in full in the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature also known as PubMed C...

-mission synthesis and simulation research at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory addresses mission model taxonomy, progressive lifecycle representation, modelbased mission design, and simulation-in-the-loop design. The Virtual Mission (VM) project integrates the research activities and implements a virtual mission lifecycle to enable a globally optimal mission. The VM is composed of three interactin...
