The Effects of Budgetary Constraints Multiple Strategy Selection and Rationality on Equilibrium Attainment in an Information Warfare Simulation

<p>Information warfare (IW) has developed into a significant threat to the national security of the United States. Our critical infrastructures are linked together by information systems in a way that is unprecedented in time and is increasingly vulnerable to information attack. However beneath all the technical means of instigating or defending against such an attack lies the individual decision-maker. This study seeks to understand sum of those factors which affect the ability of an individual to make accurate decisions in an information warfare environment. The study used game theory to analyze the behavior of decision-makers within an IW simulation.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
