Summary This research proposes to study a class of problems in which a defender dynamically allocates its surveillance assets in anticipation of an attack. The surveillance asset can be an unmanned vehicle, a camera mounted on a blimp, or a patrol officer. The proposed research will develop robust methods to counter the enemy's strategy in the worst-case scenario.
