We discus some frequently neglected issues relating to corporate communication infrastructures. The perception of services like e-mail as infrastructural -and thus less interesting -lies at the heart of corporate ignorance regarding their strategic capabilities. This may cause major problems in the near future, when inadequate communication infrastructures may hamper the successful uptake of st...

Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) enable real time monitoring and control of smart grids by combining digital measurement devices, communication and control systems. As WAMS consist of various infrastructures, they imply complex dependencies among their underlying systems and components of different types, such as cyber, physical and geographical dependencies. Although several works exist in...

The increasing relevance of the technological infrastructures (energy, communication, water supply, transportation, etc.) on our life imposes great attention about their protection. These infrastructures are complex networks, geographically dispersed and can be defined as non-linear systems that interact both among themselves, and with their human owners, operators and users [1]. Moreover, the ...

Communication and transportation networks are among the most important infrastructures critically involved in the development of different countries. The structural and tectonic position of Iran causes significant damage to its communication networks every year. Therefore, it is essential to adopt an integrated and flexible approach for assessing seismic risk in terms of available indicators. T...

Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communications realize the wireless exchange of critical safety information between vehicles and infrastructures so as to avoid or at least mitigate the vehicle to vehicle, and/or vehicle to person collisions, which has brought in outstanding attentions from public and private sectors. For example, the United States Department of Tran...

Increasing to dependency on information infrastructures involves various threats to cyber incidents. Most of nations or organizations work on protect to not only infrastructure but also information infrastructure. Korea established Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Act in 2001 that include 5 evaluation criteria for designation of National CII. This research makes a suggestion that ...

Recently, the growing concepts that information communication technologies apply to social infrastructures have caused deep interests with wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs can be used for various application areas such as home, health, factory and so on. For the different application areas, there are different technical issues (e.g., security, reliability, real time gathering, long life ti...
