  Foreign, and even domestic, terrorists have long targeted the nation's communications networks for attack with the objective of disabling computer-dependent institutions, from financial institutions to first-response teams, inventory control to the Internet. The ability to understand and develop high-fidelity anomaly models of computer-communication networks is critical to the design and implementation of survivable networks. To stave off attacks, researchers must understand, model and predict how systems will fail under attack. Drs. Peter Willett and Krishna Pattipati employ sophisticated, multi-functional mathematical models to understand anomalous behavior of networks, analyze techniques for the design of testable and survivable networks, and deploy these modeling tools for distributed survivable network management.
