The modeling of critical infrastructure interdependencies is a challenging task. This paper discusses several interdependency modeling requirements and proposes a Bayesian network approach for modeling interdependencies and inoperability propagation. The approach is applied to a case study involving the Japanese critical infrastructure sectors. Survey data published by the National Institute of...
