Robo-teacher: A computational simulation based educational system to improve cyber security

Abstract

Various threats and security issues exist in the cyber environment. For information assurance, we need to fully understand the concept of Cyber Intelligence (CI) which includes the identification, tracking, analysis and countering of security threats in cyberspace. In order to achieve this, we focus on educating and training CI for organizations and individuals via effective smart systems design and implementation using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to build an interactive and adaptive learning environment. Based on investigation of basic theories and CI concepts, a simulation model is proposed. Interaction and adaptation are then integrated or designed upon simulation. Such a learning environment aims to impart a thorough and comprehensive understanding of cyber intelligence and provide enhanced learning experience. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
