Performance and compliance objectives have become crucial for critical sites. Balancing security, energy and costs with operational objectives is the current main challenge for critical site administrators. While current systems are not integrated enough to provide an overall view of the site performances on such targets, the FUSE-IT project intend to propose a new paradigm: the convergence of monitoring on energy, building and facilities, cyber and physical security, and ICT will leverage critical sites activities and offer new opportunity in the detection of threats or savings. In this paper, we detail the first building block of the FUSE-IT concept which lies in the definition of cross-domain (i.e. on energy, security, ICT and facility) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These KPIs are the main decision variables for an enhanced Decision Support System (DSS) meeting the next century impediments of critical sites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
