	title = {Deploying PAWS to Combat Poaching: Game-theoretic Patrolling in Areas with Complex Terrains (Demonstration)},
	year = {2016},
	abstract = {The conservation of key wildlife species such as tigers and
elephants are threatened by poaching activities. In many conservation areas, foot patrols are conducted to prevent poaching but they may not be well-planned to make the best use of
the limited patrolling resources. While prior work has introduced PAWS (Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security) as
a game-theoretic decision aid to design effective foot patrol
strategies to protect wildlife, the patrol routes generated by
PAWS may be difficult to follow in areas with complex terrain. Subsequent research has worked on the significant evolution of PAWS, from an emerging application to a regularly
deployed software. A key advance of the deployed version of
PAWS is that it incorporates the complex terrain information
and generates a strategy consisting of easy-to-follow routes.
In this demonstration, we provide 1) a video introducing the
PAWS system; 2) an interactive visualization of the patrol
routes generated by PAWS in an example area with complex
terrain; and 3) a machine-human competition in designing patrol strategy given complex terrain and animal distribution.},
