Management and Engineering of Critical Infrastructures

Management and Engineering of Critical Infrastructures focuses on two important aspects of CIS, management and engineering. The book provides an ontological foundation for the models and methods needed to design a set of systems, networks and assets that are essential for a society's functioning, and for ensuring the security, safety and economy of a nation. Various examples in agriculture, the water supply, public health, transportation, security services, electricity generation, telecommunication, and financial services can be used to substantiate dangers. Disruptions of CIS can have serious cascading consequences that would stop society from functioning properly and result in loss of life. Malicious software (a.k.a., malware), for example, can disrupt the distribution of electricity across a region, which in turn can lead to the forced shutdown of communication, health and financial sectors. Subsequently, proper engineering and management are important to anticipate possible risks and threats and provide resilient CIS. Although the problem of CIS has been broadly acknowledged and discussed, to date, no unifying theory nor systematic design methods, techniques and tools exist for such CIS. Presents key problems, solution approaches and tools developed, or necessary for, assessing and managing critical infrastructures Investigates basic theory and foundations of current research topics, related challenges, and future research directions for CIS Offers an interdisciplinary approach, considering management, engineering and specific challenges (dynamism and scalability) surrounding the digitization of CIS services INDICE: PART I Foundations 1.
