If you are interested in security games as a researcher/student/law enforcement agency officer/someone who is interested in learning how Artificial Intelligence can be used for social good, here are a few resources that may be helpful.
I will keep updating the list. Please feel free to send me comments/recommendations. I will try to list the targeted audience and the time it takes to read/watch for each resource.
[All audience | 13 minutes] To get a quick overview of security games and deployed application, I recommend the following video introducing how security games are deployed in the field for protecting airports, ports, metro lines, fisheris and wildlife. (July 2016)
[CS background | 1 hour] To get a deeper/broader on security games within an hour, I recommend this talk (September 2014)
[Students/Researchers | 1.5 hours] To get pointers to key publications with a high-level research picture and brief introductions, I recommend the following survey/newsletter publications:
- Green Security Games: Apply Game Theory to Addressing Green Security Challenges
Fei Fang, Thanh H. Nguyen
In ACM SIGecom Exchanges, Volume 15 Issue 1, July 2016, Pages 78-83
[pdf|SIGecom version] - Computational game theory for security: Progress and challenges
Milind Tambe, Albert Jiang, Bo An, Manish Jain
AAAI Spring Symposium on Spring Symposium on Applied Computational Game Theory, March 2014
[pdf]
[Student/Researchers | 1~2 weeks] To learn security games from the basics, I recommend the following book
- Security and Game Theory: Algorithms, Deployed Systems, Lessons Learned
