Maximizing reader insights into the roles of intelligent agents in
networks, air traffic and emergency departments, this volume
focuses on congestion in systems where safety and security are at
stake, devoting special attention to applying game theoretic
analysis of congestion to: protocols in wired and wireless
networks; power generation, air transportation and emergency
department overcrowding. Reviewing exhaustively the key recent
research into the interactions between game theory, excessive
crowding, and safety and security elements, this book establishes a
new research angle by illustrating linkages between the different
research approaches and serves to lay the foundations for
subsequent analysis. Congestion (excessive crowding) is defined in
this work as all kinds of flows; e.g., road/sea/air traffic,
people, data, information, water, electricity, and organisms.
Analysing systems where congestion occurs - which may be in
parallel, series, interlinked, or interdependent, with flows one
way or both ways - this book puts forward new congestion models,
breaking new ground by introducing game theory and safety/security
into proceedings. Addressing the multiple actors who may hold
different concerns regarding system reliability; e.g. one or
several terrorists, a government, various local or regional
government agencies, or others with stakes for or against system
reliability, this book describes how governments and authorities
may have the tools to handle congestion, but that these tools need
to be improved whilst additionally ensuring safety and security
against various threats. This game-theoretic analysis sets this two
volume book apart from the current congestion literature and
ensures that the work will be of use to postgraduates, researchers,
3rd/4th-year undergraduates, policy makers, and practitioners.
