[转载]Intelligent Worms：Searching for Preys

信息来源：http://www.mathaware.org/

In this article, we review the prey-searching methods that worms use currently, and may potentially exploit in the future. While reviewing what has been used by worms is doable, predicting what worms may use seems to be prohibitive: There would be million ways for active worms to attack the Internet. We show how mathematics has been playing an important role in providing both a guidance and methodology in studying current and futuristic worm attacks. In particular, we outline how mathematical tools (e.g., epidemic model, statistics, machine learning, and game theory) can be applied in this area.
