About Reconnect:
This CCICADA Summer Reconnect Workshop exposes faculty teaching undergraduates to the role of the mathematical sciences in homeland security and provides an opportunity to researchers in government or industry to learn about recent techniques in data analytics. Topics are presented in a weeklong series of lectures and activities; participants are involved in both research activities and in writing materials useful in the classroom or to share with their colleagues. Participants may develop materials for publication in either the CCICADA Technical Reports or the Educational Modules Series published by the DIMACS Center at Rutgers University.
About the Topic:
Game theory is a mathematical tool for decision making where a person¢s (country, company) success is based on the choices of others. Traditionally, game theory has been a tool of economists for modeling competing behaviors of interacting agents, but it is now used more widely in social networks to optimize the number of converted, in evolutionary biology, and computer science. Applications include auctions, signaling games, and strategic games related to research in nuclear detection, triage and evacuation, among others. Many departments of computer science, mathematics, economics, and the behavioral sciences find the need to offer courses in game theory for diverse populations, yet they have no one to organize and teach such a course.
Organizers: Midge Cozzens, Research Faculty at Rutgers University and Joyati Debnath, Mathematics Department, Winona State University
Speakers: Midge Cozzens, Research Faculty at Rutgers University and Vicki Bier, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Industrial and Systems Engineering; Director of Center for Human Performance and Risk Analysis
