TITLE:  Identifying Most Likely Paths and Flows on a Partially Structured Network

ABSTRACT: We present a prototype for a decision support system that can be used to identify the most likely scenarios for adversaries' paths and flows by interactively processing information from security experts. We demonstrate how the technology may, in conjunction with other Information Technology resources, be able to help analysts identify covert adversaries in a large population. In addition to homeland security applications of the technology, we will present an application from Systems Biology and an overview of the methodological contributions of the research.
