Chapter 16 METRICS FOR QUANTIFYING INTERDEPENDENCIES
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantification of interdependencies is a major challenge when attempting to analyze the behavior of critical infrastructures. This paper presents a taxonomy of interdependency quantification metrics based on their information content, decision support and risk analysis capabilities, and computational costs. The paper also discusses a systematic approach for computing metrics and performance indices that measure the effectiveness of strategies designed to enhance critical infrastructure protection and resilience. A case study is used to illustrate the computation of the metrics and performance indices, and their application to the analysis of critical infrastructure interdependencies.

The Structure and Behavior of Class Networks in Object Oriented Software Design
The networks of interdependencies in large-scale software systems are complex, difficult for designers and developers to understand, and are a significant driver of the costs to develop and maintain software systems. Interdependencies and the costs they drive result directly from design structures and yet a disproportionately small effort is allocated to the design phase within the lifecycle of...

This chapter surveys economic approaches for security metrics, among which we could identify two main areas of research. One has its roots in investment and decision theory and is mainly pursued in the field of information technology-oriented business administration. It has yielded a number of quantitative metrics that can be applied as guidelines in investment decisions as well as for the eval...

متن کاملSurvival from Disaster: Interdependencies Management in Critical Infrastructure Networks
Today’s critical infrastructure networks are becoming increasingly interdependent. The complexity of these interdependencies has created a new dimension of vulnerability, making the whole system very fragile under unexpected events. To make the whole system more resilient during disasters, the Joint Infrastructure Interdependencies Research Program (JIIRP), aimed at developing methods for reduc...
