Irvine, Cynthia Computer Science Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited. This dissertation introduces a computational model of IA called the Social-Technical Information Assurance Model (STIAM). STIAM models organizations, information infrastructures, and human actors as a complex adaptive system. STIAM provides a structured approach to express organizational IA issues and a graphical notation for depicting the elements and interactions. The model can be implemented in a computational system to discover possible adaptive behavior in an IA environment. A multi-agent simulation is presented that introduces several innovations in multi-agent systems including iconnectors, a biologically inspired visual language and mechanism for inter-agent communications. The computational model and simulation demonstrate how complex societies of autonomous entities interact. STIAM can be implemented as a hypothesis generator for scenario development in computer network defensive mechanisms. 2012-08-22T15:30:06Z 2012-08-22T15:30:06Z 2002-06 http://hdl.handle.net/10945/9783 This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
