An Integrated Approach to Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis of Critical Infrastructure Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Critical Infrastructure Systems (CIS) within the United States are crucial to national defense, economic stability, and public safety. Protection of these assets against attack is a major concern [1] and dictates that innovative approaches be developed for identification and mitigation of their vulnerabilities. Establishment of effective and viable vulnerability assessment techniques for CIS has proved challenging due to their inherent large-scale, interconnectivity, and dynamics. In response to these challenges, the science and engineering community has been recognized as a valuable national resource to initiate new critical infrastructure protection technologies [2].

Reliability analysis of repairable systems using system dynamics modeling and simulation
Repairable standby system’s study and analysis is an important topic in reliability. Analytical techniques become very complicated and unrealistic especially for modern complex systems. There have been attempts in the literature to evolve more realistic techniques using simulation approach for reliability analysis of systems. This paper proposes a hybrid approach called as Markov system ...
متن کاملEnabling System of Systems Analysis of Critical Infrastructure Behaviors
Critical infrastructures are highly complex collections of people, processes, technologies, and information; they are also highly interdependent where disruptions to one infrastructure commonly cascade in scope and escalate in impact across other infrastructures. While it is unlikely that disruptions can be prevented with certainty, an effective practice of critical infrastructure analysis can ...
متن کاملMODELING RISK OF LOSING A CUSTOMER IN A TWO-ECHELON SUPPLY CHAIN FACING AN INTEGRATED COMPETITOR: A GAME THEORY APPROACH
In a competitive market, customer decision is made to maximize his utility. It can be assumed that risk of losing a supply chain’s customer can be defined based on products utility from customer point of view. This paper takes account of product price and service level as competition criteria. The proposed model is based on non-cooperative game theory, for one-manufacturer and one-retailer supp...

متن کاملThermodynamic modeling and comprehensive off-design performance analysis of a real integrated solar combined cycle power plant
In this paper thermodynamic modeling and comprehensive performance analysis of a real integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) power plant are performed. Performance of the plant cycle is assessed in off-design condition and in two operation modes of power-boosting and fuel-saving. Such an approach has not been considered for an ISCC plant in the previous studies. Under studied ISCC which is loca...
