Graph Models of Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Critical infrastructures are interconnected on multiple levels, and due to their size models with acceptable computational complexity and adequate modeling capacities must be developed. This paper presents the skeleton of a graph based model and sketches its capabilities.

Managing Critical Infrastructure Interdependence through Economic Input-Output Methods
Management of our critical infrastructures is a vital component of our economic and homeland security policy. The degree to which these infrastructures are interdependent, due to increasing system complexity and technology, further complicates the task of infrastructure managers to maintain service. In this paper we use economic models of the U.S. economy to identify hidden interdependencies in...
متن کاملEmpirical Findings on Critical Infrastructure Dependencies in Europe
One type of threat consistently identified as a key challenge for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) is that of cascading effects caused by dependencies and interdependencies across different critical infrastructures (CI) and their services. This paper draws on a hitherto untapped data source on infrastructure dependencies: a daily maintained database containing over 2375 serious incident...
متن کاملModelling Interdependencies Between the Electricity and Information Infrastructures
The aim of this paper is to provide qualitative models characterizing interdependencies related failures of two critical infrastructures: the electricity infrastructure and the associated information infrastructure. The interdependencies of these two infrastructures are increasing due to a growing connection of the power grid networks to the global information infrastructure, as a consequence o...

متن کاملMultigraph Dependency Models for Heterogeneous Infrastructures
The identification and mitigation of interdependencies among critical infrastructure elements such as telecommunications, energy and transportation are important steps in any protection strategy and are applicable in preventive and operative settings. This paper presents a graphtheoretical model and framework for analyzing dependencies based on a multigraph approach and discusses algorithms for...
