Models and Algorithms for Stackelberg Games with Incomplete Information
Thu, Oct 09, 2008 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
ISE 650 SEMINAR IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING: "Models and Algorithms for Stackelberg Games with Incomplete Information"Guest Speaker: Dr. Fernando OrdonezAssociate Professor, USC Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems EngineeringABSTRACT: Stackelberg games, where one player, the leader, selects its action first and the second player decides its optimal strategy knowing the actions of the leader is a natural problem for various security domains. This framework however assumes the leader has an accurate model of the adversary. In this work we have developed efficient mixed-integer programs and algorithms to solve situations where there is imperfect information about the adversary, its reward structure, or decision process.THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2008, 12:00-1:00 PM, GER 309BIO: Dr. Ordonez is an Associate Professor in the Industral and Systems Engineering department with a joint appointment in the Computer Science department at USC's Viterbi School of Engineering. His research focuses on convex optimization, robust optimization, complexity of algorithms, sensitivity analysis, condition number theory, and applications of optimization to engineering and management science. He received his BS and Mathematical Engineering degree, from the University of Chile in 1996 and 1997, respectively; and his Ph.D. in Opreations Research from MIT in 2002.

New Vistas in Dispersion Science and Engineering

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Lyman Handy Colloquium SeriesPresentsDarsh WasanProfessor, Dept. of Chemical Engineering Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois 60616Abstract:
Colloidal suspensions are used in a variety of technological contexts. For example, their spreading and adhesion behavior on solid surfaces can yield materials with desirable structural and optical properties. The structure and stability of colloidal dispersions depend highly on the interaction forces between colloidal particles and the confining geometries. This is especially the case in a concentrated colloidal dispersion when particles are more likely to come in close contact with one another and become more ordered in the confines of their restricted environment. In recent years, due to the advent of new instrumentation for measuring interaction forces in colloidal suspensions, novel forces, such as the structural force arising from the energy barrier caused by particle microstructuring and the attractive depletion force caused by the excluded volume effect, have been characterized. This lecture will highlight the role of structural forces in stabilizing dispersions and especially point out their importance in a variety of technological contexts, such as particle sedimentation, wetting, spreading and adhesion of such systems on solid surfaces and nanostructured material synthetics.Darsh T. Wasan is the Motorola Chair Professor of Chemical Engineering and Vice President for International Affairs at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT).Location: Olin Hall of Engineering (OHE) - 122
