DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: How should a system operator strategically allocate i
 ts assets in an adversarial environment? In this talk\, we explore this qu
 estion in the context of the well-studied Colonel Blotto game. Colonel Blo
 tto games model strategic scenarios where two opposing entities are tasked
  with allocating a given number of assets over a collection of fronts. The
  classical setting has primarily focused on scenarios where each front is 
 associated with an independent valuation and each entity seeks to maximize
  the cumulative performance over the fronts. This talk will focus on emerg
 ing variants of these Colonel Blotto games encompassing both informational
  asymmetries and alternative structures for the classic linear sum objecti
 ves. One such variant we will focus on is a “networked” Colonel Blotto
  game\, where the valuation of a front now depends on the outcome associat
 ed with other fronts in the system. \n\nBIO: Jason R. Marden is a Professo
 r in the Department of Electrical and Computer\, Engineering at the Univer
 sity of California\, Santa Barbara. Jason received a BS in Mechanical Engi
 neering in 2001 from UCLA\, and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2007\, 
 also from UCLA. After graduating from UCLA\, he served as a junior fellow 
 in the Social and Information Sciences Laboratory at the California Instit
 ute of Technology until 2010 when he joined the University of Colorado. In
  2015\, Jason joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
  at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Jason is a recipient of 
 the ONR Young Investigator Award (2015)\, NSF Career Award (2014)\, the AF
 OSR Young Investigator Award (2012)\, the American Automatic Control Counc
 il Donald P. Eckman Award (2012)\, and the SIAM/SGT Best Sicon Paper Award
  (2015). Furthermore\, Jason is also an advisor for the students selected 
 as finalists for the best student paper award at the IEEE Conference on De
 cision and Control (2011\, 2016\, 2017) and American Control Conference (2
 020). Jason's research interests focus on game theoretic methods for the c
 ontrol of distributed multiagent systems.
