    • Cyber politics: Understanding the use of social media for dissident movements in an integrated state stability framework 

      Goldsmith, Daniel; Siegel, Michael (© IEEE, 2012-08-19)
      Recent events in North Africa and the Gulf States have highlighted both the fragility of states worldwide and the ability of coordinated dissidents to challenge or topple regimes. The common processes of ‘loads’ generated ...
    • The dynamics of managing undersea cables 

      Sechrist, Michael; Vaishnav, Chintan; Goldsmith, Daniel (Explorations in Cyber International Relations, 2011-12-07)
      Problem: Can the Old Modes of Governance Meet the New Demands of the Internet? The exponential growth of the Internet may soon demand that undersea cable deployment happen as quickly as possible. Legacy institutional ...
    • Modeling the influence of narratives on collective behavior 

      Houghton, James; Siegel, Michael; Goldsmith, Daniel (© The System Dynamics Society, 2013-07-21)
      This paper considers the problem of understanding the influences of narratives or stories on individual and group behavior. Narrative theory describes how stories help people make sense of the world, and is being used to ...
    • Simulation modeling for cyber resilience 

      Siegel, Michael; Goldsmith, Daniel (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010-10)
      Identifying high-leverage intervention points to increase cyber resiliency—the ability to provide and maintain acceptable service levels in the face of challenges— requires identifying, integrating, and framing a diverse ...
    • A survey of methods for data inclusion in system dynamics models: Methods, tools and applications 

      Houghton, James; Siegel, Michael; Wirsch, Anton; Moulton, Allen; Madnick, Stuart E.; e.a. (© The System Dynamics Society, 2014-07-20)
      Numerical data is experiencing a renaissance because 1) traditional data such as census and economic surveys are more readily accessible 2) new sensors are measuring things that have never been measured before, and 3) ...
    • Systematic approaches to cyber insecurity 

      Goldsmith, Daniel; Siegel, Michael (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
      Recent developments have demonstrated that as the diffusion of cyber enabled technologies increases, so too does dependency on a cyber infrastructure susceptible to failure, outages, and attacks. While current efforts are ...
    • Understanding cyber complexity: Systems modeling and the financial services sector 

      Goldsmith, Daniel; Siegel, Michael (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010-02)
      Recent developments within the financial services sector have demonstrated that as the diffusion of cyber enabled technologies increases, so too does dependency on a cyber infrastructure susceptible to failure, outages, ...
