Manuscript Topics

Due to the rapid advances in cyberattack techniques (e.g., sophisticated malware and AI-driven attacks), the impact of conflicts occurred in cyberspace has been largely amplified. Moreover, the popularization of online social platforms has facilitated the prevalence of cyber propaganda, enabling the efficient and effective decision-making in cyber conflicts to become more difficult. In this regard, the two identified challenges include the development of (1) mathematical models that characterize and predict the long-term cyber conflict behaviors, and (2) cost-effective policies (for attack and defense) in the context of cyber conflicts. The Special Issue aims to collect latest advancements relevant to addressing these two challenges, and to bring together computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and sociologists to enrich this research area.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
• Mathematical modeling and analysis of cyber conflicts
• Mathematical modeling and analysis of malware, cyber propaganda and defensive approaches
• Optimization/ control/ game-based methods for decision-making in cyber conflicts
•Artificial intelligence and machine learning-based methods for decision-making in cyber conflicts

Key words: cyber conflict, cyberattack and defense, malware, propaganda, strategic decision-making
