Modelling infrastructure interdependencies, resiliency and sustainability [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Journal of Critical Infrastructures, 2016
The three key concepts of interdependency, resiliency and sustainability of a complex system have appeared in a number of studies and in various contexts. Nevertheless, little has been done to define and analyse them, especially the latter two, in a unified quantitative framework for engineering infrastructures.

Infrastructure Resilience for Climate Adaptation

Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies, 2018
Developing and maintaining resilient transportation infrastructure is a key strategy for meeting several UN sustainable development goals in the face of climate change-driven extreme flooding events. We present a framework for performing data-driven vulnerability analysis for flooding on existing transportation networks, and use this analysis to inform

Decision modeling for resilient infrastructures

Proceedings of 2011 IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics, 2011
Research on resilient infrastructures in this paper focuses on getting disrupted infrastructures back to normal as soon as possible, i.e., a timely, efficient recovery from disruptions caused by natural, technological and willful disasters.

Infrastructure Resilience to Surprise

Risk Analysis
ABSTRACT The risk analysis community has long struggled with effectively addressing surprising events, primarily because the concept of surprise remains inadequately defined in the literature. Four common misconceptions about surprise continue to obstruct progress: (1) Surprise is a result of ignorance or lack of knowledge, (2) better

A Measure for Resilience of Critical Infrastructures

2018
While risk in many areas of science and security is quantitatively understood as expected loss, resilience is a frequently used but much less formalized term. Defining the term plainly as the probability of outage appears as an oversimplification of practical matters, since precautions towards resilience typically target at impacts and may be without ...

Resilient Critical Infrastructures

2019
Critical infrastructures, such as the electric grid or transportation systems, empower our modern society. Their disruption can seriously impair the daily lives of millions of people. Due to this fact, they are attractive targets in cyber war or in large-scale sophisticated attacks.
